Zazen Retreat Photos

2009Posted by Gustav 24 Aug, 2009 00:47

We had a wonderful zazen retreat on the island Holmön. I feel very grateful for the opportunity to practice together. We were seven people and one dog. Here are a few photos from our retreat:

The guest house where we stayed on the island. It was right next to a big beacon.
In the nearby nature reserve we found a glade that became our zendo.
Siri enjoyed the surroundings while we enjoyed zazen.
Off-road kinhin.
Eva spending some free time watching the waves.
The Swedish mainland could be seen on the horizon.
Gustav sitting in the zendo sunshine.
Our zazen gong and kinhin bell.
Fredrik on the way to take a bath.
Fredrik and Siri in our shower room.
Erik prefered to sleep in a tent...
...and he found some blueberries and chanterelles nearby.
Getting ready for morning zazen.
Richard and Siri doing morning zazen.
Erik and Christer on the ferry back to the mainland.
All of us under the bodhi tree in our forest zendo. Christer, Erik, Eva, Fredrik, Gustav, Malin, Richard and Siri. Thank you all very much!
