Sesshin April 18-20, 2025
Zen meditation retreat (sesshin) led by Simone Jikô Wolf at La Gendronnière temple, from Friday 18 to Sunday 20 April 2025 (arrival late on Thursday 17 April).
This sesshin, which is open to beginners, is part of the Arts and santé session taking place from 12 to 20 April. It is possible to take part in the sesshin only.
Taking part in a sesshin is the best way for those wishing to explore the path of Zen within a Buddhist monastery. This progressive experience will enable you to take part in daily teachings and enriching exchanges with elders of the tradition.
You'll immerse yourself in the values of community life and experience the ceremonies and rituals emblematic of this age-old tradition.
The days are punctuated by four zazen sessions. The temple provides zafu (meditation cushions) and benches for meditation. The daily programme also includes meals taken in silence and the practice of samu, the service dedicated to the community.
