From Saturday, June 12 through Friday, June 18, Treetop Zen Center will host its annual Spring Sesshin. This is a time for intense, silent, communal practice.

Regular Treetop students as well as first-time visitors may participate for either the entire week, or just a few days. Those not attending the retreat are welcome to drop in during any sitting period throughout the week.

A donation of $25 per full day, or $10 per meal, is requested to cover retreat costs, though no one will be turned away due to inability to pay. If you plan to attend during meal times, please call ahead to ensure that enough food is prepared – 207-465-7563.
