Retreat Details:
The Zendo altar will be lit, and the temple will be held—with meditation periods from 6:00 AM EST to 9:00 PM PST, and morning rituals beginning each day at 6:30 AM PST. Dharma talks will be offered twice daily, and a panoply of teachers will offer dokusan interviews (individual meetings with a teacher) each day, too. We've designed the schedule to both hold us together as an extended community in one vessel, and to also offer flexibility so a range of time zones can participate comfortably.
**Registration closes January 27 at noon Pacific Time** this is so we can arrange all details for your attendance and personal meetings with teachers.
Our Uber-Liaison for dokusan scheduling is Lora Ferguson
