During this week-long (7-nights) silent retreat, led by guiding teachers Myoshin Kate McCandless and Shinmon Michael Newton, we will follow a traditional Zen sesshin (intensive retreat) schedule, incorporating periods of outdoor walking and sitting meditation in the beautiful forest setting, and emphasizing the dharma of the mountains and waters that Dogen Zenji so appreciated.
This is an opportunity to experience the daily rhythms of residential Zen practice and settle deeply into the stillness of the forest surrounding the Brew Creek Centre.
