Thursday September 3 @5pm – Monday September 7 @ 10am, 2026

This is a Zen pilgrimage in which we will have the opportunity to bear witness to life on the streets of Los Angeles. Each day we will pilgrimage through the city, ride the bus, eat at soup kitchens, sit, walk, rest, practice council, chant, and engage in asking for what we need to stay safe on our journey. We will practice meditation, wandering, resting, Council, the Zen Peacemaker Order Rule, and Gate of Sweet Nectar. At the end of the day we will sleep on the grounds of a temple, church, or Dharma center. We will bring our presence as an offering to all that we encounter along with a few simple items. 

“When we go to bear witness to life on the streets, we’re offering ourselves. Not blankets, not food, not clothes, just ourselves.” ~Bernie Glassman, Bearing Witness
