This retreat is geared for beginners and provides an introduction to the practices at Dharma Rain Zen Center. The day will consist of a gentle introduction to silent meditation, formal oryoki-style meals, and communal work practice. There will be opportunities for questions and answers as well as encouragement to investigate one’s own experience as the day unfolds.

We will begin the day on the property at 8500 NE Siskiyou and make use of our various nearby facilities.

Registration closes Wednesday, September 10th.
