The Summer Practice period in Torrey is from Sunday, July 28 – Saturday, August 24.

Summer Practice Days: July 28 – August 6; August 19 – 24.

The Third Treasure: The Practice of Community
with Diane Musho Hamilton Roshi
August 7 – 17, 2019
Two Arrows Zen Torrey Zendo
57 South 300 West, Torrey, Utah

Members of the Dragon Heart Sangha are invited to join Diane Musho Hamilton Roshi for The Third Treasure: The Practice of Community, an exploration into the intimacy of sangha and what it means to “be for each other.”

We will meditate in the mornings and evenings, and in the afternoons, practice skills to strengthen our relationships and grow our capacity for clear, dynamic, and enlivening interactions in the context of a practice community.

Outings into the natural beauty of Capitol Reef National Park and other locations will be an essential part of your experience.

This is an essential Sangha Retreat for all formal students and for anyone who desires to practice in-depth with Diane Musho Hamilton Roshi. This retreat is part of the Summer Ango practice intensive and features elements of Zen practice and ritual training for senior monks, culminating in the Shuso Hossenshiki (Dharma Combat) ceremony on August 17. Two other ceremonies are scheduled during the retreat: Shukke Tokkudo (monk’s ordination) on Sunday, August 11; and the Jukai ceremony on Thursday, August 15, when new practitioners receive the Precepts.

Over the course of the retreat, Musho Sensei will engage the four pillars of Integral practice: cognition, meditation, shadow, and body. You will:

• Engage the forms of Zen practice, including daily Zazen, Zen services, and ceremonies.
• Discover Integrally-informed relationship practices.
• Connect with a community of Integral practitioners committed to open, authentic communication.
• Enjoy outings in the beautiful red-rock country of Southern Utah
• Participate in one-on-one interviews with Musho Roshi.
• Enjoy delicious, healthy meals (with vegetarian options) prepared by our excellent kitchen.

Torrey is 215 miles from Salt Lake City which is the nearest airport. Plan for 4 hours of driving time between SLC to Torrey; there is no public transportation. Everyone is responsible for their own travel to and from Torrey. To assist, we will put registrants in touch with each other to facilitate ride shares. CLICK HERE to link to the Carpool App.

Arrival
The retreat opens with check-in at 4:00 pm, followed by dinner at 6:00 pm. Staff, monks, and work-trade participants will receive a separate pre-retreat prep schedule.

Your registration is a commitment to stay through the close on Saturday evening, August 17. You may depart on Sunday morning, August 18.

In a change from prior years, we will formally close the retreat on Saturday evening. Monks are requested to stay for a work period and closing session on Sunday morning, ending at noon.

MEALS
You will enjoy three healthy and nutritious meals a day during the retreat. Coffee, tea and snacks are included.

Special Diet Requests
Meals are vegetarian-based, with other protein options at most meals. Everyone is served the same meal. If you have medically necessary dietary restrictions, such as strictly gluten-free or lactose-free, we ask that you bring your own food to supplement. We will have gluten-free cereals available at breakfast and a limited supply of other gluten-free items at other meals. A medically diagnosed allergy to seafood or nuts requires that you inform us, and maintain your own rescue medication, such as an epi-pen.

We regret we are not able to prepare special meals for individuals or provide refrigerated food storage in the kitchen. There are extra coolers if you bring items that need to be stored on ice. There is a general convenience store in Torrey for snacks and personal items. The nearest full-service grocery store is an 18-mile drive.

---

WEATHER AND LOGISTICS
Summer is beautiful in Torrey. We will enjoy the longest days of the year, bright skies, and star-spangled nights. However, the day/night temperature swings in the high desert can be extreme. Always expect the possibility of rain and/or wind. Bring a water bottle, brimmed hat, good closed-toe hiking shoes, sunglasses and sunscreen, and clothing you can layer. You will get a complete gear list with your orientation letter.
Daytime outings may require driving up to a half-hour to the destination. Hikes are generally short and on moderate terrain. A hiking stick to navigate uneven ground may be helpful.
