A Sesshin is a multiple day retreat in which we take time out of our busy lives to focus on our spiritual practice. We do multiple periods of zazen(seated meditation) with periods of Kinhin(walking meditation) between. We also do work practice and chanting services and the teacher(Roshi Lou Mitsunen Nordstrom) gives Dharma talks daily. All participants also receive Dokusan (private interview) with Roshi several times.
 
During this sesshin one of our members will be doing Shuso Hossen. Shuso is the head trainee for the retreat and the ceremony is a rite of passage for monks. He will give his first Dharma talk and respond to the participant's questions.
 
Sleeping arrangements are dormitory style and all meals are included. We can also arrange hotel rooms for approximately $50 per night if that is preferable.

Weds. 8/20 through Sun. 8/24

Please join us for this opportunity to deepen your practice in the warmth of the temple and the sangha. An early reservation is recommended.
