Retreats / Sesshin
Hollow Bones Zen retreats are a modern adaptation of the traditional Japanese Rinzai Zen retreats. All practices during the 40 day, 7 day, and 3 day retreats offered by Hollow Bones are done in English in order to facilitate direct, personal understanding of the methods and goals. In addition to traditional Zazen (sitting meditation) and Koan study, Yoga or Internal Martial Arts is part of the daily practice. In this school of Zen it is essential that you awaken, and there is a fierce, yet compassionate, insistence that you do so now. Meditating and sitting quietly is not enough! You must realize your inherent freedom. You must answer the question, “Who are you?” from the purest depths of realization, moving far beyond the normal modes of speculative thought. The Hollow Bones retreats offer men and women the opportunity to experience the “answer” to this question in a way that transcends all hope, fear, and doubt.
