Short and Long-term Residential Training Zen Mountain Center is here for one thing, and one thing only, and that is to help us to uncover our deepest truth. From the wakeup bell in the morning until we go to sleep at night, the focus is on realizing and actualizing our innate wisdom in every activity. Dedicating a period from a month to a year to full-time residency allows us to settle into the rhythm of the training schedule and develop a strong foundation for spiritual practice. Zazen extends to every aspect of our lives. Working together is an important part of training.
Residencies can range from a few days to more than a year.
The first month of residency for any trainee acts as a trial period that enables both ZMC and the new trainee to establish if long-term training would be beneficial. For those who are able to make a minimum of a six-month commitment, financial assistance is sometimes available depending on need, skill, and motivation. Please contact the ZMC office for more information and an application.
