2025 AZTA Registration Form

Welcome to the 2025 AZTA meeting, hosted by Houston Zen Center.

October 1st 4 pm - October 5th 9 am.

The meeting begins Wednesday, October 1 with dinner followed immediately by a meeting. The 2025 meeting concludes with breakfast on Sunday, October 5.The gathering will take place at HZC’s rural retreat center, known as Auspicious Cloud Zen Retreat Center, about 1 hour west of Houston (landscape photo and zendo/meditation photo included). HZC hosted our annual meeting twice, most recently in 2018, and the sangha is really looking forward to welcoming the illustrious members of AZTA again.

The conference committee, Andrew Mason, Diane Musho Hamilton, Laura Jomon Martin, Domyo Burk, and Konjin Gaelyn Godwin are looking forward to the 2025 meeting. We will try to answer any questions you may have. Houston Zen Center at Auspicious Cloud Zen Retreat Center has shared accommodations for up to 42 participants. Each room will have several occupants. Depending on the number of participants, there may also be some private rooms. We will try to accommodate everyone. There are also off-site accommodations for those who have access to a car. Stephen Crawford, HZC’s administrator, can answer questions, or find answers for you.

Please specify your arrival airport there are two in Houston. IAH (Bush Intercontinental) is much preferred - it is closer to the retreat center. Let us know whether you will arrive at IAH (Bush Intercontinental) or HOU (Hobby Airport). Members of Houston Zen Center will provide rides to and from both Houston airports. 

Donations for the Retreat: Please plan to donate for the rides to and from the airport ($15 each direction) as well as for the food and accommodations. In 2018 we asked each participant to donate $50/day, for food and accommodations for a total of $250. Please consider such a donation. Our usual rates are $85 per day, not including meals, for a more realistic donation of $400-500. Thank you in advance for anything you can offer. We will gladly accept your offering.
