Rinzai Zen
We offer multi-day retreats and other trainings in Mayaguez under the guidance of Meido Moore Roshi and led by Gyoshi Sam Taylor.Our Zen events:
- We meditate daily in Mayaguez from 6AM - 7:30AM and 6:30PM - 8PM. Join us by sending us a message to confirm.
- We aspire to host beginner events twice per month, sometimes in Mayaguez, and sometimes in pop-up locations (homes, martial arts centers, etc.).
- We host 2-day Zazenkai once per month. These are intense retreats that require determination and some meditation experience.
Wellness practices
In the spirit of Kannon, who presents herself in infinite forms according to individual needs, we offer non-Zen wellness practices, such as:
- Cold plunge with breathing
- Permaculture workshops (we take our gardening seriously and grow our own veggies)
- Yoga events with guest teachers
In coming years, we aspire to expand programming to include:
- Wellness meditation (such as MBSR)
- Movement arts
- Tea ceremony
- Interfaith dialogue
Join us
We host short-term guests and residents. Ideal candidates are 1) good communicators; 2) conscientious roommates; 3) interested in training in Zen or some other contemplative practice. We have a sliding financial contribution scale depending on your desired length of stay.
