About this retreat
This is a residential week at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, the San Francisco Zen Center's mountain monastery. You'll practice alongside the resident community during the summer season, integrating zazen (seated meditation), work practice, and Dharma meetings—talks and discussions with the teachers—into daily life. The theme is 'Returning to Now,' though the center has not yet detailed what specific teachings or texts that frames.
The retreat is currently waitlist only. Contact SFZC directly for pricing, lodging details, meal information, the daily schedule, and whether prior sitting experience is expected or preferred.
