  Annual End of the Year 

  Virtual Retreat

  with Genpo Roshi

  
  

  The Ten Oxherding Pictures:

   Journey of Awakening 

  As 2025 comes to a close and 2026 begins, we arrive at a rare point in time—a threshold. Like a gate, where do we find ourselves at this very moment? We are entering a time in history where many things are seriously changing and we are entering a new beginning with a lot of uncertainty and chaos in a turbulent time. 

  This online retreat with Genpo Roshi offers a rare opportunity to begin, renew, or deepen your Zen practice in an intimate setting. Limited to just eight participants, each person receives personal attention and guidance to go further into their practice than ever before. This year, Roshi will focus on the Ten Ox Herding Pictures—a timeless map of the awakening journey from seeking to realization and return.

  Beyond personal transformation, this retreat also supports the greater work of the Kanzeon Sangha—we are in a unique position to assist in the awakening of the planet to compassion and oneness. Your participation allows us all in Kanzeon to sustain this vision.

  Don’t miss this remarkable opportunity to embody the one we call you, the True Self, The Mind of The Buddha.
