Event Details

This traditional Zen retreat (sesshin) involves intensive zazen (meditation), services, Teishos (dharma talks), Dokusan (private interviews with Teacher), samu work practice, body work and the "Practice of Immediacy". 

This is a special sesshin as it is the concluding event to a 90 day Spring Ango training at the Empty Sound Temple. The last day of this retreat will conclude with a Shuso Ceremony, in which the Head Priest gives a Dharma Talk, and participants ask her questions (in the Zen tradition this is called "Dharma Combat"). 

This concluding Shuso Ceremony will take place at 2:00 pm on Sunday, June 14th, and everyone is invited and welcome to come.

Zen Community of Chicago (in Oak Park)



The Zen Community of Chicago teaches a simple path of spiritual practice that anyone can learn, rooted in Western psychology and science. We wish to contribute to living in an awakened world where suffering is transformed into greater compassion and delusion into clarity. 

Our Hula School, Halau I Ka Pono also teaches Sacred Hawaiian Dance - Hula in Chicago and New York.
