Retreats

Full-day sit July 14

A Full Day Sit is planned at David Smith and Suzanne Anderson’s Kudus House on the north end of Vashon island.  The sit will run from 8:00am-5:00pm on Saturday July 14.

This may be your last opportunity to sit in the Kudus house, a century-old structure lovingly imported from Indonesia! David and Suzanne have generously allowed the Zen Center to use their property for events, but they are in the process of selling their land.
