November 10th - 13th, 2023

Can’t make it in person? Join us via Zoom for ACZC’s Spring retreat hosted live from Mt Baldy!

Carve out a corner of your home and join us on Zoom for a few days of quiet, community, and plenty of that sweet sweet zazen. There will be zazen, discussions, yoga, shared silent meals, more zazen, and a full retreat schedule brought down from the mountain and into your home.

We encourage you to join us for the full weekend and commit to the retreat schedule, however if you can only attend for portions of the schedule, that is ok too.

We are making this retreat sliding scale - please pay what you can afford from the suggested amounts for the amount of time you plan to attend (choose a price from the drop down menu). There are options for all ranges (including for those who sincerely are unable to afford much of anything). Please remember we rely on your support to be able to host the retreat as well as keep this center going, and if you can afford to donate at the higher levels it helps us to afford accessibility for those who cannot.

Recommended registration rate:

$35 - $100 per day

$100 - $250 for the full weekend

A full info packet with suggestions and tips for how to conduct a retreat from your home will be provided.

For any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@aczc.org
