Heart Kyol Che

January 4th - March 26th

What is Heart Kyol Che?

HEART KYOL CHE – In The Time of Covid

Traditionally Heart Kyol Che runs concurrently with the in-person kyol che.  This winter our kyol che will consist of 3 one-week retreats via Zoom

(one in January, one in February and one in March).

Kyol Che Dates

Heart Kyol Che remains an opportunity for we zen students to participate by doing extra practice – from one week up to the full 12 weeks.

Take some time to consider what practices you can do this winter.  Please use any of PZC’s Zoom offerings to support you in this.

We suggest a one week minimum commitment if possible for you.
