Bodhidharma is said to have sat facing a wall for nine years. This three-day retreat takes its inspiration from that spirit: intensive meditation in deep silence, with no services and no formal oryoki. What remains is sitting, walking, eating, working, sleeping.
Three meals are served each day. Several dharma talks will be given and limited interviews will also be available with a Zen teacher.
This is a nonresidential retreat. We ask that you carry the silence with you between sessions, including on your way home and in the evenings, setting aside phones and social media as far as you can. It ends before New Year’s Eve, so you can begin the new year rested and clear.
Early Bird Special before Nov. 20, 2026
Fee:
Nonmembers $249 (early bird: $229)
Members $215 (early bird: $195)
Schedule:
Retreat begins Sunday evening, Dec. 27 @ 7:00 pm (arrive by 6:45 pm)
Retreat ends Wednesday afternoon @ 6:00 pm.
