The retreat includes instruction in sitting (zazen) and walking (kinhin) practice if needed, periods of zazen and kinhin, brief dharma talks, Q&A and discussion, vegetarian meals, and body practice designed to support zazen practice. It provides a variety of resources that participants can take in and use in establishing and maintaining their practice. READ MORE

We will learn helpful bodhisattva/pastoral care techniques in a relaxed, intimate setting. READ MORE MAKE YOUR GIFT
