I’m Pierre, Zen Retreat’s Online Coordinator. I’m a natural healing professional and perfumer, and have spent a total of 3 years living at Shōganji.
If you would like more detailed, personalized live assistance toward planning your trip, meditation coaching, or additional preparation for your time at Zen Retreat, we can arrange a live video session together. While video sessions are a paid service, we are happy to answer all of your questions by email free of charge.
I’m always here to help you navigate this very special Japanese cultural experience. All questions and booking inquiries can be directed to ShoganjiZenRetreat@gmail.com
Ask me anything. I’m here to help. 🙂
