Step Into Your Life: A Zen Inspired Retreat

This six-day retreat at Tassajara, San Francisco Zen Center's mountain monastery, combines formal sitting and walking meditation with Zen teachings. The retreat examines mindfulness and awareness not as abstract concepts but as they show up in daily life—relationships, work, decision-making, intuition.

San Francisco Zen Center teaches in the Soto Zen tradition, which emphasizes zazen (sitting meditation) as practice itself rather than a means to an end. The center has not yet published the full schedule, the teacher's name, or details about the daily format. Contact the center directly for information about the number of sitting periods, meals, accommodations, and how the teachings are delivered.
