Description

Join Rev. Lucy Xiao, Rev. Dōjin Brent Haas, and the Tassajara residential community for this rare opportunity to immerse yourself in Zen practice and the summer rhythm of Tassajara Zen Mountain Center.

Each day will include:

  • Morning and evening zazen
  • Approximately 3.5 hours of work practice
  • An afternoon group meeting for Dharma exploration
  • Nourishing communal vegetarian meals
  • Personal time to enjoy the mountains, creeks, and hot springs

During our group meetings, we will explore the theme “Returning to Now,” cultivating presence through practices that bring mindfulness to body, mind, and surroundings. Together, we will return to the present moment again and again, both in formal practice and in daily activities, nurturing a sense of awareness and connection that can be carried back into everyday life.

Teaching donations are welcome and may be offered directly to the teachers.
