Sesshin (the Japanese word literally means “to touch the heart-mind”) is an opportunity to draw from the tremendous strength of people practicing together, to receive personal guidance in private meetings with the teacher, and to experience the deep stillness that lies within each of us. The sesshin can become an inspiring spiritual experience for anyone, irrespective of previous experience or religious affiliation.
OUR TEACHER: Daniel Terragno is a native of Chile who resides in the Redwoods of Northern California where he is the founder and spiritual director of Rocks and Clouds Zendo in Sebastopol, a Zen community in the tradition of the Diamond Sangha www.rocksandclouds.org (http://www NULL.rocksandclouds NULL.org)). He also regularly teaches in Argentina and Chile. In addition to his work as a Zen teacher, Daniel makes his living as a cabinetmaker.
ACCOMODATIONS: Retreatants will stay in the comfortable and quiet retreat center at Grailville, in Loveland, Ohio. The center was designed for spiritual retreat and is well suited for Zen practice.
MEALS: Vegetarian meals will be served in the lovely Grailville refectory.
DANA: In keeping with tradition, Buddhist teachings are offered on a “dana” or donation basis; therefore the cost of the retreat does not include any fees for the teacher. There will be a time to make donations to the teacher at the end of the sesshin.
