The Northfield Buddhist Meditation Center

Half-day meditation retreat with Myo-O Habermas Scher

Consisting of sitting and walking meditation, this retreat is for both beginners and more experienced meditators. Along with meditation instruction, Myo-O will also introduce participants to some Zen ritual practiced on retreats, to deepen our mediation.

Practicing intensively in the Zen and Vipassana Buddhist traditions, Myo-O Habermas Scher has been continuously working to deepen her insight for more than 30 years. In 2000 she was ordained in the Soto Zen Buddhist tradition with the name Ryugin Myo-O, which means “Dragon Song, Subtle Working.” She is affiliated with Hokyoji Zen Practice Community in southeastern Minnesota under the direction of Rev. Dokai Ron Georgesen. She has taught at Clouds in Water Zen Center in St. Paul and at the Minnesota Zen Meditation Center in Minneapolis, and for the past 7 years has lectured in many settings, from Unitarian Societies to maximum-security prisons. She has recently completed a yearlong chaplain residency at University of Minnesota Medical Center, Fairview and is currently working as a chaplain at Hennepin County Medical Center and the University of Minnesota Medical Center.
