Great Vow Zen Monastery

We offer several ways for you to live and practice at the monastery. Group retreats are week-end or week-long events focused on special topics. These are led by guest instructors or senior monastery staff. Solitary retreats are intended for individuals in need of a few days in relative seclusion and reduced responsibilities to others. For those interested in longer stays and intensive Zen training, we offer residential or work-study programs. Practitioners interested in ordination are invited to inquire about ordination training.
