Zen retreats are a rare opportunity to apprentice with zen monks and join their way of life, for a few days. 
 

Join a daily rhythm of morning & evening meditation, practice meetings with the Abbot or Master, organic whole-food, vegan meals, & together action projects, in a device-free environment.

 

Retreats are a rare opportunity to enter the monastic life for a short period of time, during which time we begin or deepen meditation study with the guidance of teachers, support each other in the rhythm of community life, and transform negative habits.
