Winter Zazenkai: A One Day Meditation Retreat

Experience deeper practice within a container of noble silence. Longer zazen hours and the support of community help reveal to ourselves what we’re capable of and reopen the window of possibility. Make Zazenkai a part of your seasonal practice and join us in keeping the wheel of Dharma turning.

Prerequisite: If you do not have previous retreat experience, please attend an Investigating Zen Practice workshop or one of our regular sitting programs to receive face-to-face Zen meditation instruction before signing up for this retreat. Reach out to how@zendust.org if you have any questions.

Suggested donation includes a vegetarian/vegan lunch. No one turned away for lack of funds. Also, these retreats fill with waitlists. if you cancel your registration, please let us know ASAP so we can give your spot to someone else.
