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 (sesshin), 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.

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.
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.
