What does the timeless tradition of Zen have to offer us in our time? What does true Zen practice look like now, in our daily lives?
Join Genpo Roshi to explore these questions in real-time, face-to-face conversations in the upcoming Spring series of four 90-minute live video events, using advanced Zoom teleconferencing technology.
The starting point which participants are encouraged to read in advance is Roshi’s recent writing on Big Mind/Big Heart Zen.
This series of video teleconferences are open to all who would like to participate. Note that you must register in advance to obtain information for accessing the calls. Details for accessing the video teleconference will be sent upon registration.

7-Day Retreat — Lyons, Colorado
This 7-Day Retreat will be held at a retreat lodge in the beautiful Rocky Mountains of Colorado, surrounded by extraordinary landscape and mountain peaks and only forty-five minutes from Boulder, Colorado.
The daily schedule will consist of three hours of teaching, dokusan (personal interviews with Roshi) and seven hours of zazen daily. It will also include one hour of Qigong led by Master Michael Berger.
It has been seven years, since the retreat on the Island of Ameland in the Netherlands in 2011, that Roshi has led such a week-long retreat. You won’t want to miss this very special opportunity to deepen your Big Mind/Big Heart Zen practice.
Space and rooms are limited to only 12 people.
