A Day-long Online Retreat

Feb 15, 2026

Formal koan study comprises about 600 koans in our lineage.  Koan study is a direct path of awakening and illumination.  In this daylong we will learn how to approach koans, how to carry koans, and how to offer responses to the koan.

This daylong will include Dharma talks, guided meditations, 15-minute breaks, and ample time for questions or comments among the group.

Suitable for beginning meditators, as well as those in the intermediate and advanced groups.

This event will be recorded. If you are unable to attend live, signing up will give you access to the recording afterwards.
