SUMMARY:2023 Summer Hybrid Sesshin\, June 26-July 2
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Worlds\, Before Knowing: Exploring the Path of Practice-Realization\nLed by Valerie Forstman\nMonday evening June 26 – Sunday noon July 2\nJoin us for this annual summer sesshin. Valerie will be leading the retreat from Mountain Cloud’s zendo and the event will be hybrid\, with both part-time and full-time attendance options. \nOnline or “At-Home” Attendance\nThis Summer\, we are excited to provide a robust online experience for those attending the retreat At-Home! Many of us have never done an online retreat before\, or aren’t sure how to tap into the retreat mindset through Zoom. However\, we know from experience that the online experience can be very connective and deep\, and that there are many advantages to doing a retreat at home and connecting to sangha\, sharing the teachings and schedule while in your everyday environment. \nOnline attendance is a good way for newcomers and less experienced meditators to wade into a multi-day silent retreat. It’s also a great option if you just need the flexibility. \nWe also know that retreats are a vital form for deepening our practice. So\, we are invested in helping our sangha flourish in their practice wherever they may be doing it\, and are committed to making the age-old tradition of sesshin available to all who seek it! \nSo\, what do we have in store for our Online\, At-Home\, participants? \nBefore the Retreat\n\nOrientation Session Monday June 26 at 6pm MT where you’ll meet your fellow online retreatants\, and set the tone and intention for the week ahead.  \nYou will also receive a comprehensive document\, Planning Your Online Retreat to help you set up for your home environment for sitting a multi day Zen retreat…. you will receive tips\, suggestions\, and general guidelines for what will occur and why.\n\nDuring the Retreat\n\nOptional Break-Out Group Support Sessions with Scott Thornton throughout the retreat in order to get support and guidance as you settle into your practice\, make adjustments to your practice\, or as challenges arise. \nReceive Recordings of Talks and Q&As each day.\nPart Time and Full Time Options.  You can decide whether to do the retreat Full Time (4-6 Days of the retreat) of Part Time (3 days or less). Within those days\, You can choose which parts of the schedule work best for your situation. Since you are at home\, we understand that interruptions occur. We can help you figure out the details during our At-Home Retreat Workshop\, Orientation Session\, and even the Group Support Sessions during the retreat.\n\nRetreat Schedule (Click here for full schedule)\nDaily Schedule (Tuesday – Saturday)\n \nMorning/Early Block \n\n6:00-7:30am  Sitting\n7:30-9:30  Breakfast\, samu\, rest\n\nMain Block \n\n9:30am-noon   Sitting and dharma talk (will be recorded and shared via email in the evening)\nNoon-1:30pm  Lunch and rest\n1:30-5:00pm    Sitting and Q&A (will be recorded and shared via email in the evening)\n\nEvening Block \n\n5:00-7:00pm   Dinner\, rest\, personal time\n7:00-8:30pm    Sitting\n\nOnline-Participation Cost\nPart time – $180 (3 days or less)\nFull time – $360 (4-6 days)\nBenefactor – $750\, pays for your attendance and full time participation for someone else. \nWe try to keep our costs as low as possible\, so please try to pay one of the options offered.
