ZAZENKAI ~~ “A Day of Zen” in the Mountains

Registration Form

We are offering Zazenkai at Rolling Ridge Retreat Center in West Virginia, around 90 minutes drive from Rockville. Carpools available. Silent retreat includes meditation, mindful movement, chanting, mindful eating, dharma teaching and meeting with the teacher. For many practitioners, single day retreats help rekindle the depth of zazen and restore harmony between body, heart and mind.  Zazenkai are suitable for beginners who feel able to sustain several 25-minute zazen periods during the day.

Fee: $35, tea, coffee and snacks provided. Bring a bag lunch.

If you wish to stay for breakfast 8 am or dinner 6 pm, bring a potluck item to share.
