A 7-day\u00a0sesshin\u00a0will be held in Sanneji 4.-11.4.2026.\u00a0The sesshin\u00a0will be\u00a0led\u00a0by\u00a0sensei\u00a0Sangen\u00a0Salo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sesshin is a zen meditation retreat, where one has the possibility to dive into intensive practice in a traditional setting. It is an opportunity for practice without disturbances, leaving everyday concerns behind and putting full emphasis on the present moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to zazen, the daily schedule includes teisho (a talk given in the zendo by the teacher) and dokusan (private instructions). There are also work meditation periods with simple kitchen and housekeeping work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0cost\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0sesshin\u00a0is 300\u20ac\u00a0for\u00a0members\u00a0and\u00a0430\u20ac for\u00a0non-members, and it is to be paid\u00a0before\u00a0the\u00a0beginning\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0sesshin. Our aim is to keep the practice accessible to everyone, so if your personal financial situation so requires, it is possible to ask for a reduced sesshin fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
