Tea & Mindfulness

Soto Zen

Soto Zenday-sitin-person

A one-day in-person retreat at Green Gulch Farm combining tea ritual with mindfulness practice and a contemplative hike. Open to the public.

About this retreat

This day-long retreat pairs tea ceremony with seated mindfulness practice, followed by a contemplative walk on the grounds. The format suggests a lighter, accessible entry point to practice at Green Gulch Farm, SFZC's residential practice center in Marin County, rather than a traditional sesshin.

The center has not published a detailed schedule, teacher name, or information about prior experience needed. Contact SFZC directly for specifics on timing, what's included, and what to bring.
