About this retreat
This is a family-centered retreat at Tassajara, SFZC's mountain monastery. Rather than a traditional adult sesshin, it structures practice around families sitting together and in age-specific groups, with an explicit focus on healing ancestral lineages.
The retreat runs five nights (July 28–August 2). The center has not yet published the daily schedule, what zazen and other practices are included, lodging details, or what's covered by the listed price. Contact SFZC directly for those specifics.
