Living Zen Retreat
with Yogetsu akasaka & Dambi Kim
A ritual immersion in sound, herbs, and elemental practice — to release, realign, and return to your natural state.
A Living Zen Ceremony is a contemporary, practice-based gathering that invites participants to experience Zen not as a concept, but as a lived, embodied practice.
Rooted in silence, attentiveness, and impermanence, this ceremony weaves together tea, scent, zazen, breath, and voice as gateways to presence. Rather than a performance to be observed, the experience unfolds as a shared practice—one that honors the spirit of Zen while engaging contemporary forms of ritual and sensory awareness.
