The Reset Retreat: Bringing the Joy of Dharma to Your Work and Life
Soto Zen
A 48-hour device-free retreat at Green Gulch Farm combining meditation, hiking, and structured conversation to explore how Dharma practice applies to work and daily life. Hosted by San Francisco Zen Center.
About this retreat
This retreat pairs traditional Zen practice with a specific focus: bringing awareness from the cushion into work and relationships. Rather than an extended sesshin, it's a compressed 48-hour format that includes sitting, hiking, meals, periods of silence, and guided conversation — a structured rhythm designed to make the connection between meditation and daily life concrete.
The setting is Green Gulch Farm in the Marin Headlands, part of San Francisco Zen Center's practice campus. The retreat is device-free, which means no phones, laptops, or screens for the duration.
The center has not yet published the teacher's name, the daily schedule, lodging details, or whether prior sitting experience is expected. Contact SFZC directly for those specifics.
