About the event

Founding Sesshin

A week of silent, intensive Zen training with seven to ten hours of zazen a day, chanting, silent meals, work practice and talks from the teachers.

We're seeing things as they are, and it's a much different world to be invited into, and to be called to attend to, and so I think there we see the enormous importance of practice, not as a way to retreat or turn away from, but rather to go right into the belly of things.
