HONESDALE, PA — Two Rivers Zen Community (TRZC) will hold a zazenkai, a daylong retreat devoted to Zen meditation practice, on Sunday, May 3. Doors open at 7:45 and the first sitting begins at 8 a.m. Anyone who has practiced with Two Rivers or has experience with formal Zen practice elsewhere is welcome to attend.

Zazenkai means “coming together for zazen.” It is an opportunity to intensify and deepen practice in a supportive group setting through the experience of periods of uninterrupted meditation, walking meditation, a dharma talk, service, mindful work practice, a meal and face-to-face practice meetings with a teacher. Silence is observed throughout the day, which will end at 3:30 p.m.

The cost for the day is $40 for non-members, $25 for members, and includes lunch.

Enrollment is limited. Mail your check or money order payable to TRZC, PO Box 1036, Honesdale, PA 18431. Include your email address for a confirmation of your registration. Visit tworiverszen.org for more information.
