NATURE SESSHIN

 

November 7 - November 11. We invite you to find stillness in the woods that cradle our temple. Our schedule features several outdoor excursions along our paths, alternating with periods of zazen and walking meditation with tea and a Dharma discussion. Nature Sesshin begins Wednesday, November 7, and will conclude Sunday, November 11, with our regular Jikoji Sunday Program, where sesshin guide Eric Remington will be giving the Dharma Talk. Buffet meals are included. Overnight accommodations are available. More information.

In addition to meditating in nature, activities such as forest bathing and guided journeys will help us attune to our deeper selves through a deeper connection with the more-than-human world.
