2025/01/18 January zen retreat in the city. From January 18 to 19.

January Zen Meditation Retreat

Participating in the January Zen meditation retreat at the Zen Kannon Center in Barcelona is a unique opportunity for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

A space to reconnect with oneself

The fast pace of urban life often disconnects us from ourselves. This retreat offers a calm and structured environment to pause, listen to ourselves, and restore inner balance.

Accessible right in the heart of the city

Unlike retreats in rural or remote areas, this retreat allows you to integrate meditation into an urban context. This helps bring the spiritual experience directly into daily life and makes the benefits easier to maintain once the retreat is over.

Practice guided by an experienced master

The January retreat is led by Master Lluís Nansen Salas, who has years of experience in Zen practice. His guidance offers clarity and depth, both for understanding the principles of meditation and for addressing practical or spiritual questions.

Flexible format: in-person and online.

If you have difficulty attending in person, you can join the retreat from home thanks to the hybrid format. This makes it accessible to people with different needs or geographical limitations.

Balance between daily life and spiritual practice

The January retreat program includes not only seated meditation (zazen) but also activities such as samu (mindful work) and moments of relaxed interaction. This combination allows you to extend mindfulness beyond the meditation cushion.

Ideal for starting the year with clarity and good intentions

January is the perfect time to mark a new beginning. Participating in this retreat can help you set clear intentions and take a conscious step toward a fuller, more peaceful, and meaningful way of life.

January retreat in community

Sharing this space with other practitioners creates a sense of connection and support. Practicing in a group enhances the energy of meditation and strengthens your commitment to yourself.
