Come and practice with us in the midst of nature's bounty during this spring week!
The spring retreat - 9 days - is an opportunity to discover or deepen the practice of Zen meditation and to experience monastic life in a Buddhist temple.
The days at the temple are punctuated by meditation sessions, ceremonies, silent meals and community activities (samou).
Teachings and discussions between participants will clarify the posture and state of mind during zazen, the meaning of the ceremonies and the practice in general.
Beginners are welcome and are mentored by experienced monks and nuns.
