‘Let go of hundreds of years
And relax completely’.

Meditation Intensive

Welcome to the first of our Meditation Intensives: a half-day drop into stillness. We will gather together online and in person to take this inward step for a few hours, before heading back out into our daily lives. These intensives will be a time to simply relax into silent sitting and walking meditation.

Facilitator:
Sensei Eisho Sinclair has been part of Bread Loaf Mountain Zen Community nearly since its inception, and has served our local and online sangha with a steady, warm and trustworthy hand and heart. He brings clear insight, humility, and attentive care to his teaching, spiritual counseling, and our temple’s rituals. Eisho divides his time between the UK and the US, seamlessly engaging with the wider sangha regardless of which side of the pond he’s on. His Zen journey began when he was quite young, and over the years, he has served professionally as a Buddhist prison chaplain in the UK, and has maintained a committed life of practice, study, and service at society’s margins. Eisho carries a wealth of wisdom from the many teachers he has studied with and shares it freely. In addition to other gifts, skills, and talents, he is a Hakomi therapist and cherishes his roles as a partner, father, and grandfather.

A note about the practice of generosity (dana): 
Bread Loaf Mountain Zen Community is supported solely by financial donations. The teachings are offered freely, and no one is ever required to pay. For those able to contribute, we suggest a donation of $40 for this program if you attend in person, and $20  if you participate online. This amount helps to offset the costs of the rental venue, teacher support, and the upkeep of our technology, building, and grounds. But any contribution amount – less or more according to your means – is always gratefully received. Your gift makes programs and practice opportunities financially possible.
