Summer sesshin (2027)


  • Bella Rakha Retreat Centre 581 West Coast Road Oratia, Auckland, 0604 New Zealand (map)

Our sesshins are seven-day long silent retreats. We hold two a year, in spring and summer.

Sesshin is conducted in disciplined silence, with every aspect of the day supporting whole-hearted practice and focus on the present moment. Dokusan (one-to-one instruction with the teacher) is offered three times a day, and additional sitting, outside of the formal rounds, is encouraged. Prior zazen experience is required for sesshin.
