Sesshin

Week-long Silent Retreat

Sesshin is an intensive period of practice that is an essential component of living a committed Zen life. The forms and practices that help us sustain access to our deep nature extend throughout the day with multiple hours of zazen, dokusan, teisho, and samu.

Every Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn

Location varies by sesshin.
