Come celebrate the completion of our beautiful new Sodo and Phase I of our new campus in typical Zen style … by sitting very still for 31 days. Take advantage of this opportunity to build your own retreat.

• Sodo is open and staffed every day from 5:30am to 9pm (except Sunday, which opens at 8am)
• Guestmasters orient and help with questions
• Three meals a day provided (sign-up and nominal donation requested)
• Morning services and at least one unique Dharma offering every day
• Silent space in the Sodo

See the special printable May Sit schedule. This will continue to be updated, along with fuller descriptions on the Schedule page itself as we get information.

If you are interested in helping staff aspects of the retreat (guestmaster, doan, assistant cook), please contact Ko’in [nrnewsom42 at gmail.com]. If you wish to sign up for a meal, e-mail or text Shin’yu [shinyu at dharma-rain.org].
