Practice Events

Zen Practice & retreats

Below you will find our Zen Practice Events, guest programs on yoga, psychology, and retreats from partner Dharma centers. We offer monthly meditation weekends (Zazenkai), practice intensives (Sesshins), Zen seminars, and work-practice weeks. If you would like to stay for longer and participate in the daily monastic life, make sure to also check out our options for Student Stays or Residency.
