During this retreat day, led by Mark Kuren Westmoquette, we’ll be looking at how we can apply our Zen practice to the area of money and wealth – two fundamentally important areas of our daily life to bring our mindful awareness to. We’ll be looking at what the Buddha and later Zen teachers had to say about money and wealth, and some of the philosophical changes that have come about over the centuries around money. We’ll also be exploring a variety of practical exercises aimed at getting us to deeply examine our relationship to money, spending, generosity, and our financial situation and wealth in general.

The retreat day will involve periods of zazen (sitting meditation) and kinhin (walking meditation). Mark will also offer sanzen (private 1-to-1 conversations).

Attendance will be possible both in person at Yugagyo Dojo and online via zoom. If you’re attending in-person, please bring a packed lunch (we won’t be sharing this time due to COVID). You will be required to wear a face covering inside the dojo at all times unless speaking or eating.
