Introduction to Zen Training Weekend

This weekend retreat is structured as a first step into formal Zen practice. You'll learn zazen (sitting meditation) and kinhin (walking meditation), participate in daily liturgy and chanting, and engage in work practice—all core elements of monastic Zen life. The retreat also introduces the dokusan (private meeting with a teacher), central to the student-teacher relationship in Zen training.

The center has not yet published the teacher's name, daily schedule, or specific lodging arrangements for this retreat. Contact Zen Mountain Monastery directly for those details and to confirm what is included in the $300 fee.
