This two-week retreat offers an opportunity for experienced Zen and Insight meditators to join Green Gulch residents in a period of intensive residential practice guided by Gil Fronsdal. The teaching and practice orientation will be “Shikantaza Through the Support of Insight,” Shikantaza being the core Zen practice of Soto Zen. Our schedule will include morning, afternoon, and evening zazen; formal oryoki meals; work periods; Dharma talks; classes; and group discussions. There will also be formal and informal meetings with teachers. Participants commit to not leave the Green Gulch watershed for the duration (except by arrangement or emergencies). The retreat includes a five-day sesshin (Silent Zen Retreat Intensive). Apply by January 4, 2026 to be included in the first selection process.
