Event details

The London Zen Centre invites you to an intensive day of Zen practice led by Zen Master Dae An, who will guide the retreat and be available throughout the day for guidance and questions.

The day combines walking and sitting meditation with chanting, and includes a private one-to-one koan interview with the guiding teacher for personal questions and discussion. A formal shared meal is also part of the programme.

The retreat suits anyone curious about how a single focused day of practice can widen awareness and help you see how your mind works. Note that new students who have never practised with the centre before should get in touch for an introduction before booking.
