Please join us for a day of intensive practice deep in the dog days of summer. As we begin to ramp up for the Autumn training period and sesshin in September this a valuable opportunity to recommit to the practice.
All of the events of this retreat are open for online and drop-in attendance only. Coming in-person requires for you to be fully vaccinated. One can drop in for any or all of the available periods but there will be no meals provided or a residency option.
We will continue to broadcast these retreats via Zoom for those unable to join us in person. We will begin the online broadcast during regular Friday evening zazen and conclude after Sunday’s Zazenkai allowing for one to be able to extend ones practice beyond the full day.
