Summer Roshi Retreat

with Taiun-roshi·Soto Zen

Soto Zenzazenin-person

Three-day in-person retreat at Atlanta Soto Zen Center combining zazen with Bauhaus-based drawing instruction. Led by Taiun-roshi, the retreat alternates meditation periods with drawing sessions, meals, and personal time.

About this retreat

This retreat pairs intensive zazen with visual art practice—specifically Bauhaus-based drawing—a format that distinguishes it from straight sitting practice. The structure alternates between meditation periods and drawing sessions, suggesting the two practices inform each other rather than occupy separate compartments of the day.

Taiun-roshi leads the retreat at the Atlanta Soto Zen Center's urban location. The center has not yet published details about lodging, the daily schedule, meal arrangements, whether prior meditation experience is expected, or what materials to bring for the drawing portion. Contact the center directly for these specifics.
