Our Fall Breakthrough to Zen Retreat is in person in Dorena, Oregon. The dates are October 29 - November 1. These are fantastic retreat which let you dig beneath the surface to find something deeper. Highly recommended! 🍁🍂

Here's a quote from a past one: "I was looking out when I already possessed what I was searching for, I just didn't know it. Everything I wanted, I already have. Here, now."

“True person of no rank”. This calligraphy hung at the Zenways dojo during the five year anniversary of Zen Master Shinzan’s passing. He really encouraged his students to find this place of “no rank” in their lives. Often we compare ourselves to others and see life in terms of different hierarchies. But in your practice, you can also find a true place where none of this enters into the fray.

The 5 year memorial ceremony for Zen master Shinzan was last night at the Zenways dojo in London. It was a great night with so many folks from all around, in person and online. About halfway through the ceremony was an opportunity for silent sanzen, where you can be face-to-face with a teacher one last time. Beautiful to see how one life has touched so many in different ways.
