This retreat is one in which Hogen Roshi often experiments with dharma teaching and practice.  So, please come with a flexible mind, open to possibilities.

This retreat/workshop is (as are all of our events) an opportunity to hear the teachings of liberation, to reflect and verify them and to apply them to our lives.  As the truths of dharma penetrate our hearts they relieve our dissatisfaction and enable us to help others. 

Our practice is a continual invitation to expand our view. As our view expands, we no longer live tethered to our preferences, judgements and beliefs about how we think the world should be. We come to see that even the most tumultuous and challenging circumstances can become opportunities for deep insight and possibility.

This is not meant as an introductory course. Hogen requests that you register only if you have participated in a ZCO sesshin or an equivalent retreat.
