As a member of the One-Year Big Mind Zen Program Group your tuition entitles you to participate in the following events and offerings.  Recognizing that participants will have other commitments and obligations, Roshi is presenting all the year’s events on zoom.  He recommends sitting on your own 20 to 30 minutes daily, or as much as your schedule permits, and participating in as many of the events and opportunities offered over the course of the year as you can.

• Sept. 10-12, 2021:  3-Day Retreat (3 hours of direct teaching by Genpo Roshi each day plus optional meditation sessions )
• November 1-5, 2021:  Small group meetings with Genpo Roshi
• December 3-5, 2021: 3-Day Retreat (3 hours of direct teaching by Genpo Roshi each day plus optional meditation sessions )
• March 4-6, 2022:   3-Day Retreat (3 hours of direct teaching by Genpo Roshi each day plus optional meditation sessions )
• May 28-June 3, 2022:   7-Day Big Mind Zen Sesshin in Salt Lake City. You may attend In-Person or participate via Zoom.
  
• Regular Weekly Zoom meetings with Genpo Roshi's successor teachers, supplementing Roshi’s teaching and offering opportunities for further interaction and personal contact for those who wish it.  These meetings will be held Tuesdays 11:00 am Mountain Time (= 6:00 pm WET [Ireland, Portugal, UK]; 7:00 pm CET [Central Europe]; 8:00 pm EET [Eastern Europe]), and Wednesdays 7:00 pm Mountain Time (for North and South America and insomniacs in Europe).  Program participants may attend either, both, or neither of these weekly meetings.  Zoom links for these events will be sent to all Program participants.
