March Retreat in Barcelona – Zen Meditation, Zazen
The Zen Kannon Center of Barcelona invites you to participate in the monthly zazenkai meditation retreat that will take place in March. This zazenkai offers a unique opportunity to deepen your Zen practice and experience the silence and serenity that meditation provides in a peaceful and harmonious environment.
What is a zazenkai?
A zazenkai is an intensive day of zazen practice, the seated meditation characteristic of Zen Buddhism, combined with kinhin (walking meditation), moments of voluntary work, personal interviews with the teacher, and a dharma workshop led by Lluís Nansen. Additionally, periods of silence will be observed, allowing participants to connect more deeply with their inner selves. This March retreat is a wonderful opportunity for this.
Retreat for Beginners and Experienced Practitioners
This March retreat is open to people of all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners. If this is 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 with prior experience, the zazenkai provides a valuable opportunity to renew their commitment to practice and settle the mind.
We look forward to sharing this day of silence, serenity, and inner discovery with you.
