Summer Zazenkai: A One Day Meditation Retreat
Soto Zen
One-day silent zazen retreat at Great Vow Zen Monastery. Extended sitting periods in the support of community practice.
About this retreat
This is a single-day silent retreat built around longer zazen (sitting meditation) periods than a typical weeknight practice. The retreat is held under "noble silence"—no talking or eye contact—which creates a container for deeper focus.
The center has not yet published the schedule, teacher, or specific sitting-period structure. Contact Great Vow Zen Monastery directly for details on arrival time, number of sits, meal arrangements, and what experience level is expected.
