Four-Day Mountains and Rivers Sesshin

Our annual Mountains and Rivers Sesshin will take place Thursday through Sunday, July 27‒30, at Point Reyes.
Seiwa Leslie Bartholic will be joining us as the doshi. She will be leading our daily discussions of Dogen’s “Mountains and Rivers Sutra,” and will also be available for one-on-one practice discussion during our free-time periods on Friday and Saturday afternoons.
The sesshin will begin with an orientation meeting Wednesday evening, July 26, at 6 p.m. in the Community Room. Thursday morning we will carpool to Point Reyes, then hike from the Bear Valley Visitors’ Center to Coast Camp, moving at a moderate pace with frequent rest stops and lunch along the way. We will get back to Berkeley around 5 p.m. Sunday. All meals are provided and camping experience is not required. Everyone is encouraged to do the full four days, but provision will also be made for those who may have to arrive late.
The sign-up sheet will be posted on the BZC bulletin board as of July 7. Your spot will be reserved after you submit all the logistical information requested on the sign-up sheet. Sign-up deadline is Thursday, July 20. The fee is $75. If you have any questions, please contact Zosie Calame at zosiec@zoho.com.
