• At Jikoji ZEN Center & on Zoom *

led by guiding teacher oshin jennings

Denko-e Sesshin is part of a cycle of four traditional sesshins initiated by Kobun, Jikoji's founder.

Denko-e Sesshin is led this year by Oshin Jennings. Oshin is a Guiding Teacher at Jikoji Zen Center, senior dharma teacher in the Phoenix Cloud lineage of Kobun Chino Roshi, & leader of the No Barrier Zen Sangha and has taught at Jikoji regularly for the past few years.

Those attending will be asked to help with some of the duties during sesshin, help with doan-ryo, help in the kitchen, help with serving meals and cleanup.

All are welcome! Please sign up below to register for the Sesshin. Oryoki meals are provided. You can request Oryoki instruction when registering, and we also recommend this video overview.
