Weekend Sesshin at Ryumonji Zen Monastery
Weekend Sesshin at Ryumonji Zen Monastery
Starts: 12:00 am
Ends: November 17, 2019 - 11:59 pm
Location: 2452 Ryumon Rd, Dorchester, IA 52140, USA
Description: Ryumonji offers monthly weekend retreats (sesshin) throughout the year. Sesshin (literally, “collecting the mind”) is a structured retreat of multiple periods of zazen, formal oryoki meals, work practice, and observation of silence. While sesshin is open to beginners, you may wish to have a little sitting experience before undertaking sesshin.
Ryumonji sesshins begin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday evening with an orientation. An informal dinner is offered at 5:30 p.m. on Friday. You are welcome to come anytime before sesshin begins. Sesshin concludes with informal lunch on Sunday.
Visit Ryumonji's website for more information.
Often there are Zen Center members from Des Moines that travel each month to a sesshin. Ask around if you would like to carpool.
