Meditation retreat - Sesshin from October 3 to 5
3–5 October 2025
This sesshin is open to all, beginners and advanced alike, and is an opportunity to dive into the heart of Sôtô zen, experiencing a practice passed down through the centuries permeating all aspects of daily life.
We will do 4 sessions of zazen - sitting meditation - per day, interspersed with samu (group work), silent meals and ceremonies.
Master Wang-Genh gives teachings on different themes. There will be opportunities to ask him questions in individual talks - dokusan - or in assembly - mondo. It is also possible to ask him questions by email which he will answer during the mondo.

Arrival is scheduled for Thursday 2 October between 5pm and 6pm. An introductory talk will take place at 7pm.
