ZEN CENTER SESSHIN<\/strong><\/p>\n

12 – 16 MAY 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

The May sesshin will take place from 12 to 16\/5 2023, at Zen Center Athens, in the presence of Koten Roshi and Doiku Sensei.<\/p>\n

During the sesshin we follow the Hosshinji Monastery program. We remind you that the sesshin takes place in silence, without cell phones, computers and books. Meals are done in the traditional monastic way using the oryoki.<\/p>\n

The participation fee is 300 euros and covers the 5 days of meals and a minimum contribution to Zen Center Athens. We kindly ask those who are interested in participating to reply in time because places are limited.<\/p>\n

Please note that sesshin is a form of group intensive zazen practice and is therefore not recommended for beginner level practitioners but for those who have experience and wish to deepen.<\/p>\n

For more information you can send us an email at info@zencenterathens.gr<\/a><\/p>\n
