Description

From inside Han Shan's cave, looking out on mountain peaks. From sitting there to sitting here, one practice shines across time and space. Zazenkai is a silent meditation retreat that doesn't feature a Dharma talk. It is simply to go deeply into the practice of zazen, allowing silence and stillness to offer their blessings. The schedule will alternate six half-hour periods of sitting and walking meditation, with a short silent break mid-morning. This retreat will be followed by a social lunch. Please bring your own. If you are vaccinated against Covid-19, you may attend this event without wearing a mask, though your may consider wearing one out of an abundance of caution. If you are unvaccinated, please wear a mask at all times. Valley Streams Zen Sangha, is an open Zen community, dedicated to the study of Buddha’s teaching and the practice of meditation. We invite experienced Zen students and newcomers to join our weekly meetings and first Saturday of the month retreats.
