Joyful Ease, Your Own True Body

Soto Zen

Soto Zenin-personyogazazendharma-talks

Four-day in-person retreat at Green Gulch Farm combining yoga asana, breath work, zazen, and Dharma talks. Hosted by San Francisco Zen Center.

About this retreat

This retreat weaves yoga asana and breath practice with zazen and Dharma talks over four days at Green Gulch Farm, SFZC's rural practice center. The pairing of embodied movement and sitting meditation is the retreat's organizing principle—using the body and breath as entry points to Soto Zen practice rather than sitting alone.

The center has not yet published the daily schedule, teacher names, or details about lodging and meals. Contact SFZC directly for those specifics and to check waitlist status.
