Scheduled

Zen Practice & Guest Events

Zazenkai weekends, Sangha work weeks, and practice intensives throughout the year. Each is an open door – come for a weekend, or settle in for longer.

SELF-GUIDED

Personal Retreats

Take time for reflection, exploration and healing, held by the gentle rhythm of a Zen monastery. Stay three nights or three months, reading, writing, walking, sitting.

A summer of practice & work

Settle into the daily schedule, practice zazen, and share the work in the kitchen, garden and grounds. Our Volunteer Program runs from mid-May to late September.
