Templestay: Work From Home

Work from home – at a Zen Temple

Remote work has opened the possibility to carry our office wherever we go. Why not bring it to the heart of the Swiss mountains and let your daily schedule be framed by Zen meditation practice?

Lambda Zen Temple offers a templestay format that allows lay practitioners, Zen monks and nuns to live and practise in the temple while continuing their professional responsibilities online.

The daily rhythm is simple and formal:

  • 06:30   Sitting Meditation (Zazen)
  • 07:15   Breakfast
  • 07:45   Module / Work
  • 12:00   Lunch
  • 13:00   Module / Work
  • 18:00   Dinner
  • 19:15   Sitting Meditation (Zazen)
  • 21:45   Lights out

Every task becomes an opportunity to awaken to the real self. Residents live a simple and ascetic life; the physical and mental training is demanding yet profoundly rewarding.

If you have already participated in at least one monthly retreat you may inquire about an available templestay spot.
