We practice for several days in the former concentration camp Weimar-Buchenwald. We sit zazen, do kinhin, recite Buddhist texts, perform ceremonies and work at the memorial site. In the evenings, we share our experiences.

The next sesshin in Weimar-Buchenwald will take place from November 3-7, 2027.
