The first seven days included morning and evening meditation, formal meals, chanting services three times a day, blocks of work practice, times to connect with one another and periods of noble silence. Participants engaged in many varieties of work practice including: sewing, cooking, machine maintenance, weeding, garden harvest processing and making new benches.
The theme text for this Summer's Mini-Practice Preiod was the "Eihei Koso Hotsuganmon".
The final four days was a meditation retreat (sesshin) and closed with an informal lunch.
