"FUSEE and the San Francisco Zen Center are offering this mindfulness-based retreat for wildland firefighters as a way to give back to these communities and to support our first responders. This 6-day retreat is intended to help provide refuge, rest and renewal as well as trauma-sensitive training in mindfulness, meditation and Sensory Awareness. There will some time volunteering to help to care for Tassajara Mountain Zen Center, and to integrate mindfulness practice into fire prevention and working on the land. The dates are December 28, 2025-January 2, 2026.

The retreat will include time to walk the woodland trails (as weather permits), be nourished with home cooked meals, and soak up the contemplative environment and deep support of this location. There will also be two follow-up monthly Zoom calls in small groups after the retreat."
