Details of this retreat
Home Hermitage- A Day Long Retreat Online
Daily practice is wonderful and for most of us the wonders of spaciousness, peace and perfection, meditation’s deeper gifts, reveal themselves within periods of more sustained practice.
Inspired by meditation master Shitou Xiqian's classic Chan/Zen practice poem, Song of the Grass Roof Hermitage, we will spend a day meditating in the intimate aloneness that embraces all beings.
Doing a day of retreat in our own dwelling place and its wild domesticity helps with integrating deep practice into our everyday lives.
Jogen will offer supportive instruction sprinkled throughout the day as well as a dharma talk in the middle session. The morning session will begin with essential meditation teachings perfect for those new to practice.
This retreat is open for full time or partial attendance, if you are attending part-time, for maximum benefit, consider designing a schedule that includes at least 4 hours of meditation.
Sunday Schedule
Session 1 8:00am - 10
Session 2. 1:00pm - 3:00

Fantastic Investigation
Was a very comprehensive yet stress-free way to explore the practice of Zen Buddhism and meditation. Will absolutely be continuing to engage with Heart of Wisdom moving forward. Highly recommend to anyone interested in dipping their toes into Zen and Meditation!

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.
