Event Info
Zen River, a zen monastery in the North of the Netherlands organizes a seminar for young people (18-30 yr) interested in Buddhism to meet, meditate and have a monastic experience for a week.
A special training week for students interested in Buddhism and meditation will be organized in July 2026. The program will include training in zazen (zen meditation), Buddhist ritual, scriptural study, and several group activities. With previous Young Minds activities we had also a painting and/or singing workshop. You can also learn from the ‘Tenzo’ (head cook of the monastery) by preparing the meals with her, or work in our large garden in the Dutch countryside, close to the Wadden-Sea coast.
Contribution
The strongly reduced contribution for the Young Mind weekend, including accommodation, food and training is
€140 (normally €205). Both Zen River and Spectrum sponsor this event to make the reduced price possible. We will organize a group train ticket to keep the costs low. If the costs are still an obstacle for you, please email us.
