Creating and Building a Zen Practice Community/Sangha

The third of the 3 Treasures of Buddhism:
Enlightenment,
Teachings/Practices,
Community.
“The purpose and power of a Zen practice community, Sangha, rests in the sacred nature of friendship. We develop friendship with the members of our community as the very embodiment of Zen. Friendship has four dynamic energies — commitment, openness, acceptance, and care. We extend these actions to one another as the dynamics of love that bring us together and support our efforts in the world.” Roshi Paul Genki Kahn

 

Space is limited to 20 in person participants. Full time participants have priority on a first come first serve basis. All registrations and payments for the 5-Day Retreat must be completed without exception by July 20, 2023, due to New Ebenezer Retreat Center regulations. Therefore Registration closes July 20th, 2023 or when full. Cancelations after July 25, 2023: no refund!

For practitioners in financial hardship, please reach out to inquire about scholarships or if you would like to set up a payment plan.
Please contact Genmitsu with any questions at genmitsuroshi@zengarland.org

Please note: We can accommodate 12 people renting one cabin. We will need to rent a second cabin to include more participants. We can only do this if we get an additional 8 registrants or more.  Please register as early as possible.

We are exited to offer this to our Zen Garland Order and our Ancient Oaks Community
