Urban Retreat in June in Barcelona – Zen Meditation, Zazen
The Zen Kannon Center of Barcelona invites you to participate in a new urban Zen meditation retreat, zazenkai, taking place on June 7th and 8th. This is an opportunity to deepen your Zen practice without leaving the city. We offer a space of silence and introspection to connect with the present moment and cultivate mindfulness.
A pause in the midst of urban bustle
This retreat is designed for those who wish to experience calm and presence without long travels. Over the course of these two days, participants are invited to pause, observe, and practice mindfulness in an atmosphere of stillness and serenity.
Retreat guided by Zen Master Lluís Nansen Salas
The retreat will be led by Lluís Nansen Salas, a Zen master with extensive experience in transmitting the Dharma and guiding zazen practice. Through seated meditation (zazen), walking meditation (kinhin), Dharma talks, and periods of silence, the retreat offers a deep immersion in Zen practice adapted to urban life—especially during this June retreat.
Zazenkai for all levels
This retreat is open to people of all levels, both beginners and experienced practitioners. If it’s your first time, you can attend an introductory session on zazen posture and practice the Friday before, so you can fully enjoy the experience. For those already familiar with the practice, the zazenkai offers an opportunity to renew their commitment and settle the mind during this June retreat.
