Need help finding a monastery near NYC.
My friend's brother went to a zen monastery in both California and France and both monasteries had a similar setup.
You could go there and stay as long or short as you wanted and then pay a fee for your stay, which included the cost of food and shelter. While there you would meditate, eat, and if you wanted to help pay for part of your stay you could work in the kitchen or clean, but you had to confirm this option before arrival.
I'm looking for something similar near NYC. I've come across some retreats and week-long sessions, but I don't think they would present the same environment since they are not used to people circulating in and out, or staying extended periods.
I ideally would like to do the same thing he did but I have a much tighter budget so flying out to California or France is not really an option. It would need to be some place I could reach by public transportation such as train or bus.
Any suggestions?
