This 4-day Retreat will take place at beautiful Nedre Skinnes Gård by Lake Krøderen, about 1,5 hours drive west of Oslo (See photos below).
"We will use a traditional Zen retreat schedule with Zen’s ancient technologies of sitting meditation, walking meditation, chanting meditation, and silent formal meal style to engage the deepest parts of our being.
Through this experience comes greater clarity, brighter energy, more compassionate behavior, and a richer engagement with our lives, more fulfilling “connectivity” with the present Moment - what we already truly are."
- Zen Master Hyon Gak Sunim

"Zen is understanding my True Self: What am I? Zen is not a religion, or a theology, a dogma or an ideology -- Zen meditation is an ancient technology of posture, breathing, and questioning directly into the very nature of self. It is a proven practice of cutting through the scattered thinking mind and returning straight to the mind source -- sometimes called "True Self," or "true nature" -- so that we can wake up in the here and now.
Zen practice is not difficult or easy. It just requires a gentle application of effort, and a steadfast curiosity about the true nature of our mind, the true nature of why we are born in this world, and what we can do about the suffering which we see everywhere around us -- but especially first in our own minds.”
- Zen Master Hyon Gak Sunim
The Retreat will take place in silence and is a unique opportunity to deepen your own meditation practice with guidance from a very experienced and inspiring teacher.
