One Day Zen Retreat
Sunday, January 20, 9am to 4pm.
Layman Pang pointed to the snow falling through the air and said,
“Beautiful snowakes! They don’t fall in that other place.
A Zen koan and meditation retreat is a gentle way to settle into the stillness of winter. Join us for this one day retreat; there will be meditation and koans, interviews with the teacher, Dharma talks and discussion, music and lots of quiet warmth. No experience is required and the retreat is open to everyone.
Retreat Agenda
9am-noon: introductory talk and koan, meditation, body movement, private interviews with the teacher
noon-1:00pm: lunch break (vegan)
1:00-4pm: meditation, private interviews with the teacher, sutra service, zen talk and discussion
Retreat Leader
This retreat is led by Roshi Guy Gaudry, Director of the London Zen Centre.
After successfully training in Zen in the classical manner for 20 years Guy went on to study koans, after which he received Dharma Transmission in the Zen line of Robert Aitken and John Tarrant. Using meditation, koans, art, and a deep intimacy, Guy offers a warm and direct way of experiencing Zen and an awakened life.
