Autumn sesshin November 22-24

Zen meditation retreat (sesshin) led by Guy Mohuko Mercier at La Gendronnière temple, November 22-24, 2024.

This sesshin is open to beginners, who will benefit from an introduction to the practice on the evening of arrival.

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 participate in enriching daily teachings and 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 program also includes meals in silence and samu, the service dedicated to the community.
