Join Red Cedar Zen and the Samish Island sesshin sangha for this seven-day online Zen retreat taught by Founding Teacher Zoketsu Norman Fischer with additional teachings offered by Guiding Teacher Nomon Tim Burnett.
Our retreat days are designed to be not only a substantial immersion in formal practice just like an in-person sesshin but also to leave room and flexibility for your home life.
We ask that you commit to attending as fully as you can.
