New Leaf Beginners' Meditation Retreats
1175 Dutch Hill, Pine City, New York
Total Cost: $159
A meditation retreat is an awesome opportunity to step out of our busy life and recenter ourselves. Our retreat center is a 3,600 sqft, 7 bedroom, modern farm house in serene and quiet western New York state. Our retreats are beginner friendly and combine a thoughtful balance of downtime, meditation and retreat programming.
Our group is dedicated to insuring our retreats are as inexpensive as possible. Because our instructors volunteer their time our retreats only need to cover renting the property and food. Room, board and program expense is $159 for our weekend retreats. ($239 for couples sharing a room.) This includes a private bedroom, shared bath, and vegetarian meals.

Founder & Lead Instructor
Anthony Cernera founded the Zen Happiness Project in 2013. Anthony started meditating in 2007 and took formal vows as a student of a Zen Buddhist order in 2009. When he isn't meditating, skydiving or playing with his cameras, Anthony is a non-profit fundraiser. He received a Master's in Education in 2014 and continues his research as doctoral student focusing on habit formation and motivation for new meditators.
Anthony says, "I have benefited greatly from a daily meditation practice and want to share what I've learned with others."
