The Zen Kannon Barcelona retreats are intensive meditation practices held in both urban and rural settings.
This retreat, known as sesshin, includes seated meditation (zazen), walking meditation (kinhin), mindful manual work (samu), and Dharma talks given by Zen master Lluís Nansen Salas.
The urban retreat allows participants to integrate spiritual practice into daily city life, while rural retreats offer a deep immersion in nature.
These retreats are open to both beginners and experienced practitioners. The urban sesshin can be undertaken either fully or partially, adapting to each person’s needs.
