Live life more gracefull and fierce, in the middle of the fire

In this 7 day Mondo Zen retreat not only your connection to your true nature will deepen, you will most certainly find your specific Bodhisatva-way to live life more gracefull and fierce, in the middle of the fire!

7 day Mondo Zen Retreat

This Mondo Zen Retreat is a modern adaptation of the traditional Japanese Rinzai Zen retreats. All practices during this 7-day retreat are done in English in order to facilitate direct, personal understanding of the methods and goals.

In addition to traditional Zazen (sitting meditation) and Koan study, Yoga or Internal Martial Arts is part of the daily practice.

In this school of Zen, it is essential that you awaken, and there is a fierce, yet compassionate, insistence that you do so now. Meditating and sitting quietly is not enough! You must realize your inherent freedom. You must answer the question, “Who are you?” from the purest depths of realization, moving far beyond the normal modes of speculative thought.

This retreat offer men and women the opportunity to experience the “answer” to this question in a way that transcends all hope, fear, and doubt. Read more >

What is Mondo Zen?

Mondo Zen™ is based on Japanese and Chinese Zen, updated for the 21st Century. Mondo Zen™ transcends the hierarchical / authoritarian, gender-biased and constraining monastic aspects of traditional Zen in favor of practical, experiential “in the world” engagement. Relying only on direct personal experience—as taught by the Buddha himself—it does not allow mythic constructs to complicate its philosophical orientation. Read more >

Venwoude & Jun Po Denis Kelly

The moment several staff-members of Venwoude (Netherlands) 'discovered' and met Junpo Denis Kelly and his Mondo Zen teachings, they were on fire.

Venwoude, a Sangha and meeting place, where thousands find their support, training and practice, to contribute to the world from a more awakened perspective…

Jun Po's profound way of putting Koan-practice right in the middle of every-day-life…

A beautifull match, kind of love-at-first-sight!
