Our sesshins are seven-day silent retreats. We hold three a year. At the moment we are offering sesshin in spring (April), summer (June), and autumn (October).
Until the Retreat Centre Project becomes a reality all our sesshins are held at Lerigoligan, a beautiful location in Ardfern, Argyll & Bute.
Sesshin is conducted in disciplined silence, with every aspect of the day supporting whole-hearted practice and focus on the present moment. Dokusan (one-to-one instruction with a teacher) is offered three times a day, and additional sitting, outside of the formal rounds, is encouraged. Prior zazen experience is required for sesshin.
Note: We also offer regular non-residential urban retreats at the Cloud Water Zen Centre in Glasgow. Check our schedule to see what’s coming up.
