Deepen your connection to your practice and open your heart. Intensive practice provides a profoundly fresh view of our lives—-so precious in this increasingly hectic world. Designed for both newcomers and experienced students, this powerful retreat can be done as a whole or in weekly segments. It will include sitting and walking meditation, private interviews with a meditation instructor and contemplative study of the four foundations of mindfulness. Meals will be taken in Zen oryoki style, and periods of silence will be observed.
For a deep immersion into the path of meditation and warriorship, we invite you to attend the entire dathün. You can also participate in one or more of our weeklong segments. Register on this page if you wish to attend Week II. If you wish to attend other weeks, you need to register for those separately. Please note in the Comments section at the bottom of the registration page that you will be registering for more than one week. You must attend one of the first three weeks to attend Week IV.
