American Zen master and Yoga adept Jun Po Denis Kelly will be visiting Australia once again to conduct events in Melbourne which will include a talk, a workshop and a 7 day retreat in Healesville at Maitripa Retreat Centre.

This will be a rare opportunity to experience the teachings of a master teacher steeped in both the traditions of zen and yoga.

‘Come and awaken to the absolute freedom of your true nature. Life’s design is meant to be erotic, not neurotic!’

Jun Po Denis Kelly Roshi

Jun Po Denis Kelly’s teaching combines the best of Zen and Yoga integrating the profound physical practices of Yoga Asana (yoga postures) and Pranayama (yoga breathing) with the penetrating and awakening practices of deep Zen Meditation.

Jun Po has developed Mondo Zen™ which is a modern adaptation of traditional Japanese and Chinese Zen updated for the 21st century. In addition to traditional Zazen (sitting meditation) and Koan study, Jun Po includes the practise of Yoga Asana (postures) and Pranayama (breathing) suitable for all levels of experience.

On this tour Jun Po will be joined by one of his senior Yoga teachers which will allow separated instruction and guidance to be given for those with little or no experience in the physical practices of yoga and those at an intermediate and advanced stage of practise.

The Melbourne Retreat will follow the classic Rinzai Zen format consisting of deep Zazen (seated meditation) practise and traditional Koan study with the addition of emotional Koan practise which includes Jun Po’s Mondo Zen™ dialog dialectic practise,and 2-3 hours per day of Yoga practise. This will be a silent retreat. For more information see on Mondo Zen™ Jun Po’s website at www.mondozen.org
