Registration for the 2020 Sesshin is now open.
Sesshin [literally to ‘touching the heart-mind’] is our week-long annual retreat and the highlight of our event calendar. All students of Sun Mountain Zen are invited to participate. The venue is Northside Zendo. Non-students of Sun Mountain Zen may participate depending on meditation experience. Please consult with a teacher first before applying to participate. (Please note: as Sesshin requires a minimum number of participants to proceed, it may be postponed or cancelled if insufficient registrants at time of due-date. In this unlikely event all registrants will be advised and offered full-refund).
NOW ONLINE. Please disregard below and refer to welcome page of website for information on our online Sesshin or this recent notice https://us16.admin.mailchimp.com/campaigns/show?id=6443816
