Big Heart Retreat on the Big Island of Hawaii with Genpo Roshi

Join Genpo Roshi on the Big Island of Hawaii 

For many people, Big Heart Retreats have proven to be the most amazing experience of their lives. Participants have claimed that by lunchtime the first day they have gotten more than the value of their donation. 

Big Heart Retreats have replaced what used to be called the ‘5-5-50's’, attended by five people for five days with Roshi, five hours of teaching a day, for a $50,000 Dana (donation).  These Retreats are the principal means of raising funds to support the Kanzeon Sangha and its work to awaken the planet. We don’t do any other fund-raising. 

This Big Heart Retreat is limited to a maximum of eight participants who wish to dive deeper into their practice than they have ever been.

The retreat begins each morning at 10:00 AM and ends at 1:00 PM. The rest of day you are free to explore the Big Island of Hawaii. It takes place at one of the most remarkable spots on earth, Captain Cook in Roshi’s home It sits on the largest active volcano’s in the world. The energy of this very spot is one of  the ten chakra points of the planet. 

Don’t miss this remarkable opportunity!

Big Heart events are our way of giving back to those who so generously sponsor our efforts. Your donation is essential to carrying on this work.
