Retreats
Our Zen Center offers numerous non-residential retreat opportunities throughout the year. We do short 3 day, or 7 day retreats throughout the year. These retreats give you the opportunity to step back from your life and find clarity and direction. They involve immersive meditation practice and are held in deep silence. They include morning services, private meetings with teachers and daily dharma talks.

Healing Harvest Meditation Retreat
August 27-30, 2023
Join us for this short retreat from Sunday evening to Wednesday evening. Our co-founders, Roshi Robert Joshin Althouse and Roshi June Ryushin Tanoue will join us in exploring this rich experience. We encourage you to step back and align yourself with the Fall season with grace, rest, growth, and an open heart. This will be a non-residential meditation retreat held at ZLMC in Oak Park. You may attend in-person or online. Since it is already a short retreat, there will be no part-time options. The schedule will involve intensive meditation, morning services, face-to-face interviews with teachers, and dharma talks. 3 meals a day will be served for those participating in-person.
