A meditation center will be making their way to Bucks County at the end of the summer to immerse residents in several wellness practices.

The Soshimsa Zen Center, a Buddhist temple headquartered at 398 Lincoln Boulevard in Middlesex, New Jersey, will be hosting their “Taste of Zen Retreat” in New Hope from Sept. 22 – 24. The three day retreat will allow attendees to experience several Zen practices at the Deer Park Camp and Retreat Center, located at 6290 Lower Mountain Road.

“Steep in the sounds of nature during the periods of Sacred Silence then let your soul reverberate with the soothing vibrations of the Sound Bath,” the temple said online. “Still the mind with meditation and rejuvenate your body with Yoga, Tai-Chi, and Tong-Gong Health Exercise.”

Zen is a philosophical school that has its roots in Buddhism. Emphasizing mindfulness and mediation practices, it has become a popular tool for those in the West looking to deal with stress and discover themselves on a deeper level.
