Our annual retreat celebrating the Buddha’s enlightenment. This year Rohatsu will be on Zoom-only. It will include yaza (night sitting) Saturday night and a Sunday half-day retreat.
Offered online to the sangha-at-large, and in-person for the jukai participants.
Please join the Mountain Rain Zen Community for our June half-day retreat and Annual General Meeting. We’re still online, so this year for the first time, we’ll miss sharing delicious potluck fare in good company. But this is still an opportunity to take stock, and co-create a vision that will take us through the pandemic and beyond. What have you appreciated about Mountain Rain Zen Community this past year? What should our priorities be going forward? How can this community best support your practice?
