Interdependence Sesshin: A Residential Zen-Meditation Retreat
Mon, Jun 29

To study the Buddha Way is to study the Self. To study the Self, is to forget the self and to be enlightened by the ten thousand dharmas. No trace of enlightenment remains, and this traceless enlightenment continues forever. —Dogen Zenji, Genjo Koan

About The Event
During this silent, Zen-style retreat we will practice-awakening to our interdependence with all beings. Silent meditation retreats provide an opportunity to deepen our awareness and experience the truth of interconnection directly. The silence and support of meditation can give us the courage to live our lives more fully as we discover the spacious freedom and compassion of our original heart-mind.
We will follow a rigorous daily schedule which includes roughly seven hours of seated meditation, interspersed with periods of walking meditation, chanting practice, dharma talks, opportunities to check-in with one of the practice leaders, outdoor meditation sessions, mindful eating practice during meals, a late morning care-taking practice and breaks where participants have the opportunity to rest, exercise and explore the beautiful grounds and nature.
Led by: Kisei, Sensei and Dharma Holder Patrick Dunn with support from Seth Josephson
