Retreat Fees:      

Retreat fees cover room and board. We serve 3 vegetarian and organic meals made freshly every day.

Dana for the Zen Teachers and Tenzo's are not included in the fees. It is tradition to give Dana at the end of retreat as a sign of gratitude for receiving the dharma and being taken care of. Please give generously and according to your means, as neither the Zen Master nor the resident teachers and tenzo's get any compensation for their efforts.

Early Bird Rate: We have received your registration and check with full payment a month ahead of the retreat you wish to attend.
