Buddhist Retreats
For over 30 years Mar de Jade has hosted Buddhist retreats in the Zen and Chan lineages. We offer a seven day summer Chan Retreat with Master Guo Yuan Fa Shi, direct disciple of the late Venerable Sheng Yen from Dharma Drum Monastery in Taiwan.
In the winter we offer an annual Zen Rohatsu Retreat with Zoketsu Norman Fischer, renowned poet, writer and Zen teacher from San Francisco. These retreats are a unique opportunity to practice meditation with an international Sangha in a bilingual and bi-cultural setting.
