In zazen I stop reaching beyond the present. Stillness rises like moonlight filling the garden. How complete the world is.
And something to notice is how we have always been here. That’s the experience of the ancestors, life after life, the practice has appeared and I blunder into it and it saturates me.
We’ll be practicing in a magical place too, the New Mexico High Desert.
Hakuin says,
If you try zazen even once, you wipe away beginningless crimes.
—John Tarrant
This is our first time gathering at Hyperslow Retreat Center, which offers more luxurious accommodations than other PZI retreat locations.
To register, please email our registrar Eleanor at [email protected] with your preferred room (Options: A—G below) and your roommate, if applicable, and we will send you a link to complete payment. We will do our very best to accommodate each request, dependent on availability.
If you would like a shared room and have a preference for your roommates, please coordinate with each individual before emailing the registrar.
Retreat pricing is kept as low as possible, but the rising cost of everything makes this difficult. If you have the means, donations to our Scholarship Fund are accepted with our deep gratitude.
PZI Members: If you want to attend and are in need, please don’t hesitate to request financial aid through a PZI Scholarship. Contact our registrar for scholarship and any other retreat questions.

Join us for an exploration of the great way of Zen—koans, stories, meditation and dreams.
We’re looking forward to it, and there are limited numbers, so if you want to come, sign up soon.
John Tarrant Roshi taught Zen in a traditional Japanese manner for about 15 years and then developed new ways to teach people who had no previous experience of Zen koans or even of meditation.
John has a Ph.D. in psychology and is the author of Bring Me The Rhinoceros & Other Zen Koans That Will Save Your Life, and The Light Inside the Dark: Zen, Soul, & the Spiritual Life. He directs Pacific Zen Institute. He has a special interest in leadership and in creativity.
