Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi
Abbot of Zen Mountain Monastery & Zen Center of NYC
May 18th (Saturday), 2019
Episcopal Diocese of WNY Ministry Center

Half-Day Zazen Intensive
Saturday May 18th, 2019 9:00am – 12:00pm Doors open at 8:00am (Donation $30*)

This event is open to Zen practitioners and requires pre-registration. Participants are expected to remain for  the entire Intensive retreat, and if at all possible dine with Roshi and the sangha afterwards.

Zazen is the heart of Zen practice. Combining our individual practice with other practitioners is an act of giving and receiving. Doing it in an intensive manner helps prepare the ground for the possibility of experiencing something not generally accessible with a less prolonged session of sitting and walking meditation.

To register, please send request to [email protected] by May 14th.
