40th Anniversary
It’s now 40 years since Springwater Center came into being! Use this link to see photos, writing, and art submitted by friends of the Center about their time and experiences here through the years. From the first retreats held at Camp Onanda on Canandaigua Lake to more recent days.
Located an hour south of Rochester, New York, Springwater Center offers silent meditation retreats and year-round guest visits in a beautiful and spacious facility on 212 acres of country land with streams, meadows, forests, a pond, and miles of walking trails.
There are no rituals, required beliefs, or assigned practices.
The essence of retreat at Springwater is being together in the simplicity and openness of silent awareness. Attending moment-to-moment to what is happening within and without, in a spirit of wonder, curiosity, and discovery.
Springwater Center is located on the traditional homelands of the Onondowahgah (Oh-KNOWN-doe-wah’gah), also known as the Seneca Nation. The Onondowahgah are members of the Haudenosaunee (Hoe-dee-no-SHOW-nee) Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The confederacy precedes the establishment of Springwater Center, New York state and the United States of America.
We acknowledge the painful history of Onondowahgah, dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Onondowahgah people, past and present, to these lands and waters.
COVID-19 Update
The Center is now open to fully vaccinated (including booster) in-person guests. We are monitoring the unfolding COVID situations closely and will update this page as our policy changes.
Our deepest gratitude to all of our members and friends who continue to support us as we all move through such uncertain times.
ONLINE OFFERINGS:
We will continue to offer timed quiet sittings, group meetings, private meetings with teachers and retreats accessible online.
For more information, email Stacey at: [email protected].
Meditation
The heart of our meditative work is simple awareness. Right now can there be simple listening, being present to what appears as sound and feeling and thinking in the midst of open silence? A vast listening space of no preferences and no judgments?
The mystery, the essence of all life is not separate from the silent openness of simple listening.
Sitting quietly is vast boundless being, not belonging to me or you. Revealing what is as it is, beholding it and yet not meddling with it in the light of wisdom and compassion too marvelous to comprehend.

A Variety of Ways to Participate
Silent retreats form the heart of life at Springwater. Grounded in an atmosphere of inquiry and shared silence, a daily schedule is offered with timed sittings, a morning talk, meetings with teachers, and an afternoon group dialogue.
A one day retreat experience, our All Day Sittings begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. The day includes time for sitting, a talk, vegetarian lunch, an afternoon dialogue group, and concludes with refreshments and social time.
During quiet weeks, specific areas of the building are kept in silence, while the rest of the house continues in its work day. This provides a quiet, meditative atmosphere in the midst of everyday life.
You are welcome to visit as a guest or volunteer outside of retreat. You can create a personal retreat experience, supported by daily sittings, shared meals, and the option to meet with teachers.

All activities are optional and you are free to interact with retreat in a way that works for you. The only requirements are to participate in silence and contribute an hour of work each day.

New York. Journey for a dream | Viatores
We have been seeing America almost every day since childhood, on TV, on the Internet, in magazines and newspapers. We were brought up on American films and sometimes it even seemed that we were in New York and could walk through it with our eyes closed. Every third film shows us breathtaking views of Manhattan from a bird's eye view or the endless beaches of Los Angeles. The American dream… everything is always cool there, everything is always the best there, and there are a lot of people who admire America in absentia and dream of living there, drawing their conclusions only from pictures and films.
Streets of Soho. New York Before I had the idea to visit America, I visited many European capitals and already knew firsthand what travel is and what the world looks like outside my native country.
I don't know what scared me to go there earlier. Maybe the difficulty of obtaining a visa, maybe I thought that the trip for the American dream was too expensive, or maybe my love for Europe, its narrow streets and centuries-old history, did not allow me to commit such blasphemy. It's like trading a visit to a Van Gogh exhibition for Andy Warhol. But, having had enough of Van Gogh, you need to expand your horizons and look at Andy, right?
I am a practical person and I like to read stories that are not just a description of events and places, but also an information component, so as not to waste a lot of time later on searching for how much it costs to visit a particular attraction, how to get there, etc. .P. Therefore, I will try to provide my story with links to official sites, and if it is interesting, get the maximum information, and if not, feel free to skip the links and do not pay attention to them.
GETTING A US VISA
Getting a US visa turned out to be a much easier process than getting a Schengen visa.
No certificates, insurances, tickets, hotels are needed. I only had a completed application form, paid fees and an invitation for an interview. If you are an avid traveler and correctly filled out the questionnaire, then there should be no problems with obtaining a 3-year visa. There are many forums where the whole process is described in detail and now no one should have any questions.
WHERE TO GO IN THE USA
My first trip to the American dream was in June 2013. According to surveys of friends and acquaintances, every second person dreams of driving from the East to the West coast across America. But for the first time, we decided not to risk it and use the plane, so our route included only three cities: New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
View of Central Park from Rockefeller CenterA LITTLE ABOUT NEW YORK
New York is one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world. New York has everything for every taste. You can find any kind of entertainment, restaurants of any cuisine, shops of everything that, in principle, can be sold.
There are streets where there is a distance of 10 meters between one and another skyscraper and not a single bush and tree for whole blocks ahead, there are small and cozy parks, as well as a chic Central Park where you can easily get lost, like in the densest forest, here there are quiet residential neighborhoods with doormen at the entrance and no less expensive neighborhoods with lofts in old plants and factories, there are wooden embankments and sandy beaches that are washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean (I won’t bore you with details about the bays), there are areas where representatives of only one or another nationality with all the consequences - specific cuisine, establishments, entertainment. New York is like the most expensive dress (and it's really chic!) for a young and beautiful girl, which she puts on in the world. But it is worth seeing her in a casual outfit - she is not such a beauty! Crowds of tourists move up and down Manhattan, admiring the beauty and it feels like they believe it is everywhere - all over the city, all over the country.
Wealth, prosperity, happiness and success. But as soon as you leave Manhattan or visit another nearby city, you can see a completely different America: one-story, faceless, in places terribly dirty, filled with emigrants and sometimes just crazy people.
Don't let such a sharp retreat scare you, I fell in love with New York and I am sure that I will return there again and again, I just wanted to break the gloss and show that the word "decoration" is related not only to Hollywood.
TRANSPORT IN NEW YORK
For every budget traveler in New York who is not going to immediately take a car at the airport or always take a taxi, the main thing is to understand the subway (fares, details, maps - http://www.mta. info). Not to say that this will be a big problem for residents of Moscow or St. Petersburg, but the logic of the metro is slightly different from ours. From myself I will recommend an excellent program for the phone - NYC Subway from mxData. Free, convenient and builds routes.
The metro operates around the clock, but in the evenings and on weekends there are a lot of changes and long intervals. Waiting for a train for 20-30 minutes in the evenings is the norm. Some lines may simply not work, some trains run on other lines. You can find out about this from the announcements that are pasted all over the metro. Read them carefully, especially if it says about your branch. There have been cases where a 15-minute trip has been stretched into 2 hours due to maintenance work and changes in train directions. Also, do not be afraid to use a taxi - it is convenient, quite inexpensive, especially when compared with some European cities ($ 2.5 per landing and further on the meter, an average trip is $ 15-20, from the airport $ 50-60), all taxis can be paid by card.
WHERE TO STAY IN NEW YORK
New York has a well-developed subway - it runs to almost all areas and, in principle, it will not be difficult to get from a remote place, but, of course, if the budget allows, then it is best to live in Manhattan (the distances are huge - you can easily spend 1-2 hours on the road to the center).
It is difficult to recommend a certain area, because Manhattan is an exceptional place - it is interesting and beautiful in any area. Choose the area that you like the most - starting from the central park and the surrounding area and moving down. Hotels, of course, are expensive - we once again chose airbnb services for ourselves and stayed in apartments in all cities except Las Vegas.
WHY AND FOR HOW MUCH TO GO TO NEW YORK
You can't come to New York for 2-3 days, to feel it and feel it, you have to live here for a week or two. New York, like any other city, it seems to me, you need to learn by walking slowly around it. In summer it is quite hot here and from the end of June to the beginning of September, there is a terrible heat of + 30-35. Sometimes in such weather you begin to regret that you are not somewhere on the Mediterranean coast. But at the end of April and in May the weather is wonderful. Spring works wonders with any city.
I like to mix sightseeing with city walks, sit for another hour in a park or at a street cafe table, watch the flow of people and tourists, turn at crossroads in unfamiliar directions and find amazing places, unusual establishments, beautiful panoramas. New York is a very flat city with straight streets, the map of the city will not let me lie, so it's hard to get lost. Although it is very convenient to have an offline map on your phone with you.
CENTRAL PARK
From what I managed to visit, I strongly recommend devoting at least one day to an amazing creation - Central Park (http://www.centralparknyc.org/). A park created entirely by hand, on the territory of which there are several lakes, castles, corners in which it seems that you are somewhere in the deep taiga and no one will find you! We lived near the park, so we often came here for a walk: in the morning to have breakfast in a cozy gazebo on the lake, in the afternoon to hide from the heat or sunbathe, and in the evening to take a break from a hard day filled with emotions and watch squirrels and raccoons , which are in abundance here.
VIEWS OF MANHATTAN
For stunning views of Manhattan, you must definitely climb at least one skyscraper (or both at once, as I did: one during the day, the other at night): either the Empire state building (http:/ /www.esbnyc.com) or Rockefeller Center's Top of the Rock (http://www.topoftherocknyc.com). The views are like from pictures, the prices are reasonable, it is better to book tickets online in advance on the websites.
View of the Empire from Rockefeller CenterSIGHTS OF NEW YORK
I was very impressed with the 9/11 Memorial (http://www.911memorial.org). A truly unique memorial was made out of the catastrophe and destroyed buildings, which shows a reverent attitude towards the tragedy, honors the memory of the dead and at the same time just a beautiful monument. The streams of water breaking down, the names of the dead along the perimeter, the depth of all this makes a much greater impression than, for example, a trip to the Statue of Liberty (http://www.
statuecruises.com). The most memorable trip to the Statue of Liberty is the ferry ride to Liberty Island, but a similar trip can be made for free on the ferry to Staten Island (http://www.siferry.com).
Walking along the Brooklyn Bridge and visiting the park, which is located on the waterfront from Brooklyn (http://www.brooklynbridgepark.org) is already an unchanging classic. From there, an equally breathtaking view of the Manhattan skyline opens up, and it’s just very beautiful and peaceful there.
View of Manhattan from BrooklynNEW YORK FROM A HELICOPTER
If we are talking about gorgeous panoramas and views, then, of course, nothing compares to a bird's eye view. Flying in a helicopter over Manhattan is an indescribable delight. I somehow didn’t dream about it before and thought that even just flying in a helicopter was an exorbitant and expensive dream. But it turned out to be quite affordable entertainment, and for those emotions that you can get even in a 15-minute flight, you don’t feel sorry for any money! Especially if you manage to sit next to the pilot - a sea of emotions, impressions and great photos is guaranteed.
We used the services of http://heliny.com - we were very satisfied!
WHAT TO DO IN NEW YORK
Oh, there are so many great and beautiful places in Manhattan! It is simply impossible to stop the story. In New York, you have to live and enjoy life, run, hurry, relax, drink coffee, sit in parks (in addition to those described above, Bryant Park and Washington Square Park left a mark in my memory), go to museums (I was most impressed by MoMA - http: //www.moma.org and the Guggenheim Museum - http://www.guggenheim.org), smoke on fire escapes, marvel at the goodwill of everyone around, smile just like that and smile back, devote days to shopping (which store should I go to? favorite brand in the search engine and add "NYC" - you will definitely find the address, because in New York you can find everything), randomly find places that you saw in movies or TV shows, feel the rhythm of the city, each time you find yourself in Times Square, at least once take a taxi ride around the city at night, visit clubs on the roofs of skyscrapers to make sure once again that such a city really never sleeps, try the cuisines of different countries of the world and miss soups, disappear for hours in bookstores, and even get a little disappointed, seeing the city from the other side and realizing that nothing is perfect.

Chapter III.
Defeat, retreat and frustration
The destruction of the main body of our battle fleet at Pearl Harbor rendered completely unacceptable the plans of the American navy drawn up in the event of a war with Japan. The US Navy's high command has been debating its anti-Japan strategy in the Pacific for years and has frequently revised military plans. But these plans never took into account the possibility of losing such a large part of our battle fleet as occurred on December 7, 1941
In the annual war game at the Higher Naval Academy in Newport, the "American" and "Japanese" fleets were put up as opponents.
In 1940 I commanded the "Japanese" fleet. For many years there have been two schools of thought that held different points of view on campaigning in the Pacific. One school was in favor of a swift throw of our fleet across the Pacific Ocean with in order to more quickly assist Manila or to capture a suitable base in the area, postponing the capture of Japanese bases in the Marshall, Mariana and Caroline Islands to a later time. According to this plan, it was assumed that the fleet would leave Hawaii no later than 30 days after the outbreak of hostilities. General MacArthur calculated that he could hold the fortress of Corregidor in Manila Bay for 60 days, but during this time the fleet should arrive and lift the siege. This plan was based on the assumption that without dominance at sea, overseas conquests were impossible and that such dominance depended on ships of the line.
Another school advocated the so-called "step by step" method of action. According to this plan, the fleet, together with the Marine Corps, first advanced to the Marshall Islands, creating a base there, and then moved across the Pacific Ocean to Manila in the same “steps”.
This plan called for strengthening the defenses of the Philippine Islands so that Corregidor could hold out for six months, or even longer, until a fleet arrived, securing its rear by establishing a system of bases and neutralizing or capturing enemy bases.
The rush method relied on the earliest possible decisive battle between the enemy fleets, because we believed that the Japanese would not allow us to reach Manila without a fight. In the battles fought during the games, the American fleet almost always won this theoretical naval battle, although it suffered heavy losses in the process. These results were achieved on the basis of the assumption that the relative combat power of both fleets is determined by their firepower, and in this respect our battle fleet was significantly superior to the Japanese. Air power was not recognized as a decisive factor. Aircraft were considered fit mainly for reconnaissance and surveillance.
The step-by-step method of action - not as dangerous as the rush method - provided that the fleet, when moving across the Pacific Ocean, always remained within reach of the forward operating base.
This method had the merit of not putting the entire force of the fleet at stake in a single battle far from supporting bases. This plan simplified the problem of logistical support, since it was not necessary that the fleet was constantly accompanied by a fleet "carriage train".
The war plan prepared in 1941 was, in fact, one of the variants of the step-by-step method of action. We were building up a defensive force in the Philippines, sending troops, fighters, bombers and patrol planes there. According to preliminary calculations, the fortification of the Philippines should have been completed by February 1942. This was one of the reasons why the Army and Navy command urged the President and the State Department to wait to show the cards until we were more ready.
The war plan also foresaw that our fleet in Hawaiian waters would carry out harassing raids on Japanese bases in the Marshall Islands group to relieve enemy pressure on Singapore and the Dutch Indies until the US Navy was strong enough to capturing bases in the Marshall Islands.
The attack on Pearl Harbor made this plan completely unusable. We were forced, regardless of our desire, to conduct defensive operations in the Pacific. When we were stabbed in the back, we had only three aircraft carriers in the Pacific against ten Japanese. In total, we had seven aircraft carriers, counting those that were on the Atlantic Ocean. Finished at 1936 years of the term of the disarmament treaties, we were so short-sighted that we allowed the Japanese to overtake us in construction and achieve superiority in this extremely important class of warships.
In Manila, far west of Pearl Harbor, it was 2:00 on December 8 when the war broke out in the Hawaiian Islands. Lieutenant General Britron, commander of the Far East Air Force, writes (Britron's Diaries) that he was awakened by a telephone call from General Sutherland, General MacArthur's chief of staff, to say that the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor and that the country was at war.
Britron ordered his air units to prepare for battle.
Expecting any moment after dawn a Japanese air attack, he requested permission to immediately bombard Formosa with all the Flying Fortresses he had.
