Details of this retreat

With wonderment on our side, and in relationship with all that is, we recognize the inherent compassion that naturally arises from deep and sustained presence. Held in a container of zen forms and the vibrant dance of a monastery waking up to spring, we will explore the nature of being anything at all!

During this silent retreat our day will unfold within the practices of zazen, chanting, formal meals and
a short work practice. Much of the day will be spent in the meditation hall practicing seated meditation together.

 

Beginners welcome. :)

One-day workshop
I attended an introductory workshop on Zen practice at ZCO on February 1. It was excellent: clear, concise, very welcoming, well-attended. The leaders were knowledgeable and dedicated. I learned exactly what I wanted to: best practices for meditation. The best parts were the actual meditation sessions, including walking, guided and sound. Thank you so much for offering this -- I traveled 5 hours round trip to attend and it was worth every bit. Read More
