Home Hermitage- A Day Long Retreat Online

Daily practice is wonderful and for most of us the wonders of spaciousness, peace and perfection, meditation’s deeper gifts, reveal themselves within periods of more sustained practice.

Inspired by meditation master Shitou Xiqian’s classic Chan/Zen practice poem, Song of the Grass Roof Hermitage,  we will spend a day meditating in the intimate aloneness that embraces all beings.

Doing a day of retreat in our own dwelling place and its wild domesticity helps with integrating deep practice into our everyday lives.

Jogen will offer supportive instruction sprinkled throughout the day as well as a dharma talk in the middle session. The morning session will begin with essential meditation teachings perfect for those new to practice.

This retreat is open for full time or partial attendance, if you are attending part-time, for maximum benefit,  consider designing a schedule that includes at least 4 hours of meditation.
