Captain Cook, Hawai‘i
Dear Friends,
This might be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for, to dive deep… There’s a spot left for you.
This October I am offering a very small and intimate five-day Big Heart Immersion at my home on the Big Island of Hawai‘i. This will be my only in-person public offering for the remainder of 2026, and I am limiting it to just eight participants so that we can keep it personal, intimate, and spacious.
Each day we will come together for sitting, Big Mind • Big Heart practice, teaching, and whatever is most alive for the group. And because this is such a small group, I will also make time to work with each participant individually during our five days together.
This is not intended to be a large, tightly scheduled retreat. I want there to be room for what emerges.
Time to sit together.
Time to inquire deeply.
Time for individual attention.
Time to awaken and embody what we discover.
And time simply to be together in Hawai‘i.
Meals will generally be on your own, with opportunities to share dinner together when we wish.
If you feel drawn to join us, please contact us as soon as possible.
I look forward to these five days together—sitting, awakening, embodying, and living fully.
Love,
Genpo Roshi
This extraordinary retreat, which will be held in Genpo Roshi's private home on the Big Island of Hawai‘i, will be Genpo Roshi's only remaining public in-person fundraising offering of 2026. If you have been considering practicing with him in person this year, this is your opportunity.
Participation is limited to eight people so the group can work closely together throughout the week. Only a few places remain open. If you would like to join, please send an email requesting to be included directly to Genpo Roshi: genporoshi@me.com
