Rohatsu Retreat

What to Expect

Illuminate the nature of suffering

and the possibility of freedom

Rohatsu marks the awakening of the Buddha. What he awakened to was not an idea or doctrine, but the nature of suffering and the possibility of freedom.

This five day retreat, we will enter silence and sitting meditation (zazen) together, closing on the day of the Buddha’s awakening.

We sit not to achieve something, but to come into direct contact with what is. Through zazen, kinhin, teaching, and meeting, we stay long enough to see what keeps the wheel turning—and what becomes possible when we no longer follow it blindly.

You are welcome to join the introductory day, the sesshin (retreat), or both.

❋ Intentional Structure

We blend guided moments, open exploration, and space to reflect—so the experience feels both focused and fluid.

❋ Collaborative Energy

Connection is a core part of the process. You’ll learn just as much from the group as from the content itself.

❋ Expert Facilitation

Led by experienced guides who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.

❋ A Supportive Space

Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect—so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process.

Reconnect with your body and mind as you escape the noise of everyday life.
