Zen Meditation Retreat (Sesshin) / August 24–30

24 August, 2023 - 30 August, 2023

Directed by: Michel Genko Dubois Roshi

Dates: August 24-30, 2023

The Retreat begins on August 24 at 6pm and ends on Wednesday August 30 at 6pm.
Departure possible on Thursday, August 31 in the morning

About the retreat:

Sesshin means “to touch the heart”. To practice zazen, to be practiced by zazen. As we touch the heart
we found that nothing is missing. Everything is already here. In this time of war, fear, uncertainty and setback
about identity, sesshin is an invitation to reveal the limitless space that unfolds from the center of our chest –
the limitless space that is peace. Sesshin is an invitation to restore in us the joy of this same life and
let it develop throughout our entire existence.

The silent retreat will include 8 hours of daily meditation, teachings (Teisho), private interviews with the
teacher and two hours of samu (conscious work). The emphasis will be on sitting/walking meditation and
continuous practice: there is no separation between formal sitting and all aspects of daily life: work and
relations.

Price: €370 – meals and accommodation included. In case of financial difficulties, do not hesitate to contact us at this
