Be a master everywhere, and wherever you stand is your true place.  — Master Rinzai

Fugen Roshi, Kogen, and Daiden will lead this retreat with a focus on integrating mind, body, and heart with stillness.

The week will celebrate the deepening of commitment to the practice with two important ceremonies, Jukai, for Zen Ministers, and Inka. 

Inka is the highest level of spiritual recognition in Zen Buddhism.  Please join us in support as Fugen Roshi confers on Daiden/Dan Pecaut the honor and grave responsibility of joining the Rinzai lineage, bringing the dharma to this suffering world.

The total cost of the retreat is $800 per person for a single room and board. A $400 deposit is due when registering to reserve your place.
