About this retreat
This six-day sesshin merges sitting practice with wilderness immersion in the Adirondacks. Daily zazen anchors the schedule; canoeing on Little Tupper Lake and solo time in nature form the retreat's distinctive shape. The retreat holds periods of silence — how fully and when is not yet detailed on the center's site.
Zen Mountain Monastery has not yet published the daily schedule, teacher assignments, lodging setup (group tents, cabins, etc.), meal details, or what prior experience is expected. Contact the center for those specifics before registering.
