Waking Up to Our True Nature

May 13 – 17, 2026

 At Mission Mountain Zen Center

 Dayton, Montana & via Zoom

Please join STO and Mission Mountain Zen for a 5-day Spring Precepts Zen meditation retreat which is being offered both in-person and via Zoom. A Sesshin (literally, gathering/clarifying heart & mind), offers us time to intensify and mature our meditation practice. It affords a unique opportunity to clarify your life. The Sesshin will be led by Zen Priest Zenku Jerry Smyers. Zenku will be joined by guest speakers. We will study the 16 Bodhisattva Precepts and their implications for deepening our Zen Practice during the daily retreat Dharma Talks. While we hope you can join for the entire Sesshin, the schedule is designed to permit you to partake in as much of the retreat as you can.

Everyone is welcome.

Please take advantage of this unique opportunity to cultivate and deepen your Zen practice.  Please contact Zenku at Jerry.Smyers@gmail.com for  further information and for details if you would like to attend in-person.
