Description

The retreat form includes sitting and walking meditation, a Dharma talk, and interviews. Participants are expected to sit the entirety of the day to maintain consistency of the retreat experience. A mid-morning snack, light vegetarian lunch, and dinner will be served. Chong Do Soen-sa (Craig Carver) lives in Lexington, Kentucky. He began his formal Zen training in 1982 with Roshi Philip Kapleau of the Rochester Zen Center and was also active in the affiliate Madison Zen Center (Wisconsin) until moving to Kentucky in 2001. It was that same year he did his first retreat with Zen Master Dae Gak at the Furnace Mountain Zen Center. He received Inka in 2018. Previous experience sitting with the CZC or Furnace Mountain Sangha is recommended, or equivalent experience. Suggested donation $90. If this donation presents a hardship, please email us—we have scholarships available. We also gratefully accept donations beyond the suggested amount, which will go directly to defraying Chong Do's travel expenses.
