Retreats

Join us for a four day sesshin commemorating the enlightenment of the Buddha.

Suggested donation of $20 but any amount you are able to give is deeply appreciated. The retreat will be hybrid (in-person and online). Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be held in Tijeras at the offices of Mountain Chiropractic & Kinesiology 11814 State Highway 337, Tijeras, NM 87059. Sunday will be at the Zendo in Albuquerque. All are welcome to come and go as needed.   

Sunday's service will conclude with a Kie Sanbo ceremony where our sangha member and friend Lis will be taking refuge in the Three Treasures. 

To make sure enough food is prepared, please let Rev. Shindo know if you plan to attend in person at shindovillanueva@gmail.com.
