About this retreat
This weekend is built for people encountering Zen practice for the first time, or those considering formal training. The retreat covers the fundamentals: zazen (sitting meditation), the liturgical rhythm of monastery life, and work as a form of practice. You'll have a private meeting with a teacher to explore what the student-teacher relationship actually means in a Zen context.
The schedule and daily structure have not yet been published. Contact Zen Mountain Monastery directly for details on lodging, meals, sitting-period count, and what to bring.
