April 18 - 25, 2019
The sewing retreat is for those who will be receiving the precepts at the close of the Precepts Retreat in July. Participants will work with Yuko Okumura to construct the rakusu (miniature Buddhist robes) that Okumura Roshi or Hoko will bestow on them during the ceremony. Those interested in receiving the precepts must fill out and submit the request form at the bottom of this page tp begin this process. Please allow time for an in-person meeting with Okumura Roshi or Hoko at which you will both decide whether to proceed; if so, instructions for retreat registration will follow. The maximum number of participants is six. The deadline for requesting the precepts is February 28.
The requested donation for participation is $20/day; additional donations for either Yuko Okumura or for Sanshin Zen Community will be gratefully accepted.
