Satori and Salutations: Opening to the Heart of Zen and Yoga
Soto Zen
Five-day in-person retreat combining yoga (asana, pranayama, yoga nidra) and Zen practice, centered on Shunryu Suzuki Roshi's *Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind*. Hosted at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center.
About this retreat
This retreat bridges two contemplative paths: Zen meditation and yoga practice. The structure weaves asana (postures), pranayama (breathing), and yoga nidra (guided relaxation) alongside zazen and study of Suzuki Roshi's foundational text on beginner's mind — the idea that approaching practice without preconception opens direct insight.
The center has not yet published a detailed schedule, teacher names, lodging information, or specifics about what "in-person" means (residential, commuter, or day attendance). Contact Green Gulch Farm Zen Center or check the SFZC website for those details before registering.
Schedules can change — confirm details on Green Gulch Farm Zen Center / Green Dragon Temple's website.
