Service to the Temple – Heart of Wisdom

This is a single-day work practice at Heart of Wisdom, combining zazen with hands-on service to the temple grounds. The format is straightforward: sit in the morning, then move into maintenance work—gardening, cleaning, painting, whatever the temple needs. Lunch is included.

It's structured as a volunteer event, not a formal retreat, so no sitting experience is required. If you're curious about the temple or Soto Zen practice and want to contribute something concrete while sitting, this is an accessible entry point.
