Every fall, we hold a Sejiki retreat focused on cleansing karma and releasing attachments to the past, including those who have died. We begin the retreat at 7pm on Wednesday and continue through Sunday evening. See the schedule .

Registration is required, and closes Friday, October 16.

Scholarships available upon request. Please contact staff at the email above for more information.

Participants may join this retreat for full days or partial days. Partial-day participants may enter at the beginning of any sitting block and are asked to attend the entire block. Please email the shuso your arrival time after you register at Shuso at Dharma-rain.org.

Drop-ins are welcome for morning zazen and service (5:30–7:20am) and evening program (7:00–9:10pm). If attending the evening program, please stay through Vespers. No registration is required for the morning or evening drop-in periods.

Zoom is available for the early morning session only. Please note that the Sunday morning schedule differs from the usual Sunday morning schedule. Everyone is welcome to attend the Sunday morning zazen and Sejiki Festival whether they are registered for the retreat or not, as well as the Sejiki Toro ceremony on Sunday evening.
