Practice Periods are times of intensive focus on meditation and study, bringing heart, mind and body together in one focused effort. This Practice Period is a precious opportunity to practice together intensively, using Cloud Zendo meetings. Your practice will be enhanced and nourished by staying in creative contact with dharma friends and teachers.

This Intensive Practice Period/Ango, is led by Abbot Gaelyn Godwin, and Shuso Head Student Zengetsu Vicki Glenn. We will merge practice and everyday activities.

Vicki will offer half-day sittings as well as intensive sewing classes. You can also join the 5-day June Sesshin.
