Let's start the year with collective practice
Join Henry for a daylong retreat as the new year begins. This is an opportunity to ground yourself in practice and set an intention for the year ahead. We'll gather for a day of guided meditation, poetry, and dharma talks. We look forward to practicing together.
What to expect at a daylong retreat?
Thich Nhat Hanh, the famous Vietnamese Thiền Buddhist monk, once said, "Breathing in, I have arrived. Breathing out, I am home."
This retreat will be an invitation to return whole-heartedly to our practice, and to our true home right here and now, and find how boundless and timeless it really is, and always available to us.
The day will include guided meditation, dharma teachings, and poetry that weave together ancient Zen wisdom with contemporary insights. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions about your practice and connect with others walking a similar path.

Henry Shukman
Henry teaches mindfulness and awakening practices to a wide range of students from all traditions and walks of life. Henry is an authenticated Zen master in the Sanbo Zen lineage, and is the Spiritual Director Emeritus of Mountain Cloud Zen Center. Previous to this, Henry had a career as an award-winning author and poet. His struggles and traumatic experiences as a youth, combined with a spontaneous awakening experience at 19, paved the way for Henry to develop a well-rounded approach to spirituality and meditation – one that includes love for self and the world as its foundation.
Here’s what students have said about Henry’s teaching
Thank you for creating this nourishing space. Our practice together revealed a place of deep authenticity, opening to ease and acceptance – which remains an anchor throughout my days since.
– Kate This was my first time sitting in shared stillness with so many others and it was absolutely magical.
– Valerie I loved listening to Henry, the guided meditation and meditating with this sangha. The atmosphere had beautiful lightness and depths and I still feel it inside.
