Please join STO and Mission Mountain Zen for a 5-day Spring Precepts Zen meditation retreat which is being offered both in-person and via Zoom.  A Sesshin (literally, gathering/clarifying heart & mind), offers us time to intensify and mature our meditation practice.  It affords a unique opportunity to clarify your life.  The Sesshin will be led by Zen Priest Zenku Jerry Smyers. Zenku will be joined by guest speakers.  We will study the 16 Bodhisattva Precepts and their implications for deepening our Zen Practice during the daily retreat Dharma Talks. While we hope you can join for the entire Sesshin, the schedule is designed to permit you to partake in as much of the retreat as you can.

See the following retreat schedule, all times are Mountain Time.

Everyone is welcome.  Please take advantage of this unique opportunity to cultivate our Zen practice together.  Please contact Zenku at this email for further information and if you would like to attend in-person – Jerry.Smyers@gmail.com.

Once you have registered, a few days before the sesshin you will receive a Welcome in Information email packet with further details and a Zoom link.

We are looking forward to practicing and studying the Bodhisattva Precepts together.
