Eternal Wind -

Cultivating Energy

with Breath and Sound Practice

Weekend Sesshin Led by Chozen Bays, Roshi

April 11 -13

at Great Vow Zen Monastery

Friday 5:00pm - Sunday 1:30 pm

Just as breath is fundamental to life, breath practice is fundamental to Zen practice.

Many people think of concentration on the breath as a simple beginner’s practice. Breath practice is very rich, with many aspects that can continue to unfold throughout our lives.   When we learn to breathe fully, we are able to tap into a new source of vital energy and to access deeper states of samadhi.  Sound is also a fundamental practice. It leads us outward, to a wider awareness in which the gap between self and other dissolves.

Join us in this weekend retreat as we explore a number of breath and sound practices, including toning, bamboo breathing and the classic Zen susokan
