Example — Zen Meditation Sesshin Retreat in Sintra
Zen Immersion: A Journey of Transformation in Sintra
Discover deep transformation through Zen practice in the vibrant setting of Sintra. This carefully curated retreat combines expert instruction with the cultural and natural richness of Portugal. Whether you're a beginner exploring this practice for the first time or an experienced practitioner deepening your skills, this retreat offers the perfect environment for growth and awakening.
Enter the profound simplicity of Zen meditation in this traditional sesshin (intensive retreat). Zen focuses on direct experience and sudden awakening through zazen (sitting meditation) and the study of koans.
Zen practice emphasizes meditation rather than philosophy or ritual. Through sustained practice, practitioners experience moments of clarity and insight that transform their understanding of self and reality.
Based on the Zen Buddhist traditions of Asia, this retreat offers authentic training in authentic Zen practice. The disciplined structure supports deep meditation and breakthrough experiences.
The retreat follows traditional sesshin format with multiple daily meditation periods, kinhin (walking meditation), bowing, and chanting. Evening dokusan (teacher interviews) provide personal guidance. Meals and work practice are done with full mindfulness.
