Zazenkai is intensive Zen retreat. Our next Zazenkai will be October 24 - 26. The challenging schedule is modeled after Korinji's daily programming during sesshin. Prior experience is recommended. Any new trainee is required to interview with the practice leader beforehand. Please contact us.
All special events will be announced at the top of this page as well as on our Instagram, Facebook, and Whatsapp group.
We aspire to host practice events from aligned traditions, including Mindfulness, Shugendo, yoga, permaculture, and contemplative world religions.

Our practices come from Korinji’s lineage. Cho’onji is the branch that has life from Korinji’s trunk. Korinji hosts intensive retreats and other events in Reedsburg Wisconsin. See their events page. Scholarships and help with trip planning are possible for Cho’onji practitioners. Special scholarships are available for Puerto Ricans under the age of 30. Ask Gyoshi for more details.
