90 Day Practice Period (Ango) 2025: Short Term Participation

Crestone Mountain Zen Center 90-Day Practice Period: Short Term Participation: March 14th – April 14, 2025

We are in the midst of our 90-day Practice Period at Crestone Mountain Zen Center, a time of dedicated Zen training and study. This retreat is designed as a way to enter and to create together a ‘Culture of Awakening‘ through a structured daily schedule of meditation (zazen), oryoki meals, dharma talks, study, and ceremony. Participants living at the center for the full three months will remain on the premises, fostering a close, focused community.

Short-Term Participation Option

We would like to highlight that, starting March 14th, a one-month option is available, culminating in the 7-Day April Sesshin. This option allows participants to enter into the Ango schedule deeply and to merge with the community. It can be an initial taste of an Ango, perhaps as a beginning point for partipating in the full 90 Day event in the future.

Also, those with a prior relationship with Crestone Mountain Zen Center or previous Practice Period experience may inquire about other short-term opportunities if the month long option does not work for them.

The cost for short term participation is $75/day. In addition, it is customary to make a teaching donation.
