We Are Learning To Live Out Whatever Lessons We Learn On The Seat

Mountain Cloud’s Visiting Resident Program offers meditation practitioners the chance to dive deeply into the living dharma through daily sits, samu work practice and community participation.

JOIN THE PROGRAM

Who Can Participate?

We are looking for self-directed individuals (of all ages – we are all Zen students) with an existing meditation practice interested in joining in the life of the center for a minimum of four weeks (3 months during Covid-19 challenges).

If you do not have an existing practice, you must have a commitment to learning the practice while applying it to all aspects of day to day living.

COVID-19 Restrictions

Due to the COVID 19 situation, we are accepting a very limited number of visiting residents, preferably those who can stay onsite for a minimum of three months and are willing to accept a 14 day quarantine on arrival. For the time being all of our events have gone virtual, but our residents still hold twice daily sits in our zendo and practice samu for 2-3 hours each day. The few on-site residents we have, are enjoying a good deal of solitude with plenty of time for sitting, studying and samu.

JUMP START OR DEEPEN PRACTICE

The experience enriches practitioner lives in a variety of ways

Receive direct support through instruction, teachings, and community — experience mindfulness as a lifestyle beyond meditation and
be valued not for your accomplishment or skill, but for being you.
Create spaciousness for personal reflection, insight, and discovery.

On a daily basis, visiting residents will participate in an hour of both morning and evening meditation (more if wanted), three hours of daily work practice, access to our teacher Henry Shukman and use of our kitchen. Meals are not included except during retreats. Click here for pricing and for the daily schedule.
