Two Arrows Zen Spring Sesshin
Diane Musho Hamilton Roshi
April 21-28, 2019
Torrey Zendo, 57 South 300 West, Torrey, Utah

Join Diane Musho Hamilton Roshi for Spring Sesshin, an intensive meditation retreat dedicated to the practice of zazen and the expression of wisdom and compassion in all aspects of your life. Spring Sesshin is a retreat over eight days at our Torrey Zendo, in the red rock country of Southern Utah.

Even when not in the meditation hall, participants endeavor to maintain a spirit of quiet and whole-hearted attention at all times — in all forms of practice.

Spring Sesshin with Musho Roshi begins at 3:00 pm on Sunday, April 21 and ends at noon, Sunday, April 28. The Spring Sesshin includes two ceremonies, Shukke Tokkudo — the monk’s ordination, and the Jukai ceremony when new practitioners receive the Precepts.

Pre-requisites are familiarity with the Integral work of Ken Wilber, willingness to practice rigorously in a committed Sangha, and at least one prior multi-day meditation retreat. To register for Spring Sesshin you need to be able to participate in all activities and agree to attend the full-week retreat. If you have not completed a multi-day program with us before or have never participated in a Zen Sesshin, please CLICK HERE to request an interview. We will be in touch promptly to discuss your registration.

SPRING SESSHIN REGISTRATION IS OPEN UNTIL APRIL 13, 2019.
Registration includes meals. Lodging is booked separately.

Full-week Registration, Sunday 4/21, 3:00 pm to Sunday 4/28, noon.

Diane Musho Hamilton Roshi
Miles Kessler Sensei
Two Arrows Zen Torrey Zendo (NEW LOCATION)
Torrey, Utah

Join Diane Musho Hamilton, Zen Teacher, author, and award-winning mediator and facilitator, and Miles Kessler, dual-lineage holder in both the Iwama tradition of Aikido and the Burmese Mahasi tradition of Meditation for a live practice intensive in Torrey, Utah.

During the five-day immersion, you will awaken and refine your in-the-moment conflict resolution skills to bring more vitality and energy to your relationships – at work, at home, and in your communities.

This intensive brings together two powerful teachers of dharma who will guide you in:

• Expressing effective, fearless authenticity in your communications.
• Exploring the polarities of active and receptive principles; masculine and feminine forms and expression.
• Aikido practices: Embodying clarified, confident, and fiercely loving presence.
• Experiencing how working with difference, dissent, and discomfort is a sure and swift path to true intimacy.
• Appreciating conflict as a gateway that invites more care and more compassion into your life and spiritual practice.
