Restore and invigorate your mind and body through deep engagement with the practice of your choice. We invite you to join our renowned teachers to explore the variety of ways that Zen Buddhism and other spiritual traditions can inform and enrich your life. In retreat you are free to meet your true self and bring it forward through practices you may already enjoy, and some that may be entirely new to you.
Whether you attend a yoga, cooking, or artistic retreat, when combined with the awareness cultivated through Zen meditation, your experience of one tradition is enriched by the other. Retreats usually begin in the late afternoon on the first day, and end before noon on the last day. Although there will be scheduled time for practice in the tradition you have chosen, all retreats include plenty of free time to engage in meditation, enjoy the baths, hike, or simply rest and savor a cup of tea.
Select a theme to find out more about the retreats we offer at Tassajara.
Retreats usually begin with meditation instruction at 4:00 pm on the first day and end before noon on the last day.
Please note that the retreat fee does not include accommodations.
