Join Subhana Barzaghi Roshi and Aladdin Jones Sensei for a spring sesshin with the Melbourne Zen Group, a rare opportunity to deepen practice in a supported retreat setting. Inspired by the Buddha’s awakening under the morning star, this gathering invites participants into sustained sitting, stillness, and reflection as part of a traditional Zen rhythm.
After sitting through the night, the practice opens into the quiet of dawn, creating space for insight to emerge naturally. This retreat offers a focused environment for meditation, presence, and inner observation, guided by experienced teachers who hold the container with clarity and care.
Whether you are continuing a long-standing Zen practice or stepping into sesshin for the first time, you can expect a simple, disciplined atmosphere that supports concentration and deepening awareness. The spring setting adds a sense of renewal, making this an ideal time to pause, settle, and reconnect with the essence of practice.
