Zen Days and Retreats

We regularly offer individual days on which our teachers offer the opportunity for together practice.

Zen Days are one-day retreats – a shortened version of Yong Maeng Jong Jin. The practice consists of sitting and walking meditation, chanting, often the retreat begins with 108 prostrations. At noon, we cook and eat together. Since 2020 there is also the possibility to participate in the Zen Days online via Zoom.
