Zen Meditation Retreat – March 25 & 31, 2026
At Kōun-in Temple, we will be holding regular Zen Meditation Retreats from February through March, designed to help you restore balance to both mind and body through zazen meditation and traditional shōjin (Buddhist vegetarian) cuisine.
After quiet time in seated meditation within the temple grounds, you will enjoy a seasonal shōjin meal prepared with fresh ingredients from local farmers.
Step away from the rhythm of daily life and spend meaningful time reconnecting with yourself.
