The Ryokan Dojo de Barcelona organizes the 12th Edition of Zen y Playa with Master Soko, from Friday 25 of August to Sunday 3 of September 2023. The retreat takes place in Can Oliver, a well equipped vacation complex surrounded by nature, with swimming pool, fully equipped and adapted for children and people with reduced mobility, 30 minutes from the beaches of Empúries (Costa Brava).

 

The first zazen (zen meditation) of the day, weather conditions permitting, takes place by the sea on Muscleres beach, in front of the Empúries archaeological site, starting just before sunrise. A great opportunity to discover, experiment and deepen the practice of zazen, in a beautiful natural setting, together with regular practitioners, monks, nuns and people who are new to the practice of zen. Registration open, limited places.
