Shodo Harada Roshi Retreat: July 2024
Shodo Harada Roshi will return to Australia to lead a seven-day sesshin at Queensland Zen Centre in July 204.
In addition to the sesshin, participants will be expected to arrive by lunch on Saturday 13 July for the start of a three-day work/practice retreat.
The purpose of this mini retreat is to practice together as a group, to prepare the temple for the seven-day sesshin, and importantly, to settle our mind before Roshi's arrival on Tuesday 16 July.
After the retreat has concluded, participants will be expected to stay and help with clean up before departing after lunch on Wednesday 24 July.
Schedules for both the three-day work/practice retreat and the seven-day retreat will be sent to each participant.
While the closing date for applications has now passed, we may be able to accept late applications in the event of a cancellation, and the retreat application form can be found here.
Applications can only be considered if a person has previously attended a retreat with Harada Roshi or with Zen Master Senshin.
Please ensure we receive your full retreat fee of $450 within two weeks of receiving your acceptance notice.
Harada Roshi has asked that all of the retreats that he leads are available to all and specified this retreat fee. If a full fee is not received within this time frame, your place will be offered to the next person.
