UPCOMING RETREATS
AUTUMN BALLAD
17th Annual Lost Coin Gathering of the Clan & Retreat. October 3-8, 2023
Santa Sabina Retreat Center in San Rafael, California
Autumn comes.
Its song is in every breeze, on every branch.
It fills the sky with winds that circle without end.
There is no place that Autumn does not reach.
– Doen Roshi
For the first time since the onset of the pandemic, we are joyful to practice in person for this year’s annual gathering at Santa Sabina in San Rafael, California where many of our past gatherings have taken place. This retreat will conclude our intensive training period (Ango) with five days of zazen, teisho, dokusan & daisan, ceremonies, empowerments, and opportunities to practice together and honor our traditional roots. We will be able to spend both formal and casual time with Roshi and the Senseis.
As our Ango period has been dedicated to the practice of “Gentling the Bull”, this gathering will concentrate on the self-development practices that arise and complement the realization of our true nature, our potential, and its embodiment in each of us.
Come and practice together in a deep and intimate way, taking this time to honor our history and the continuation of the dharma– which is nothing other than our life.
