  Ango, or Peaceful Dwelling, is a 90-day retreat involving zazen and the 
  experience of practicing in the context of a community of dedicated Zen
  practitioners. The schedule allows you to deepen your natural wisdom and
  compassion through zazen (sitting practice), service (sutra chanting), and
  samu (mindulf work practice). Participation for any length of time from 
  several days to the full 90 days is welcome and encouraged.
