The Game of Life Seminars with Genpo Roshi

Genpo Roshi The Game of Life Seminar, a retreat that blends joy, insight, and community.

Reviving his popular Zen Life Intensives of decades past, Roshi brings fresh processes and his mastery of the Big Mind/Big Heart method to help us see the roles we unconsciously play in life.

Participants will gain tools to face fear with courage, move beyond division, and live with greater clarity, compassion, and responsibility.


What People Are Saying About The Game of Life Seminars

Julia V., Attorney at Law, The Netherlands:

"The most powerful moment for me was when Roshi guided me to shift from anger to its opposite in just a split second—suddenly the anger was gone. This opened my eyes to the possibility of real change: to listen wholeheartedly, to step fully into another’s perspective, and to take responsibility. The retreat was heartwarming, spacious, and transformative—a true adventure that was both profound and fun.”

Paul J., Buddhist Practitioner and Scholar, United States:

"A powerful experience of radical honesty and self-disclosure from both Roshi and the Sangha. It confirmed my own path of teaching with openness and vulnerability, helping me and others move deeper into self-acceptance. Something remarkable happens when you simply show up, question without judgment, and allow the process to unfold.”



Nina N., Actress, Sweden:

Dan L., Psychologist, Sweden:

"Genpo Roshi was unforgettable—on fire, intense, and profoundly moving. His energy drew me in completely, leaving me inspired and deeply connected."

"A magical experience—joyful, inspiring, and crystal clear. His presence was electrifying, blending wisdom, humor, and performance into an unforgettable experience that touched my heart and filled me with energy, love, and understanding.”

Paul M., Business consultant, The Netherlands:

"An Incredibly powerful event and filled with energy—both mind-blowing and grounding in life. I realized emotions are not obstacles but places to explore, even anger or anxiety carry hidden wisdom. My takeaway: if stuck, be completely stuck. This retreat is unlike anything else—an adventure with your self, supported by the group and guided by Genpo Roshi. Mind-expanding, deeply grounding, and surprisingly simple.”


Birgitte G, Denmark, Psychotherapist & Yoga Teacher:

Following Roshi on his European tour was groundbreaking. He truly embodies the hazy moon, transcending light and dark, sanity and madness. I witnessed him teach with full force—whether seated, napping, or walking. The mornings spent in Zazen with him were most powerful, as he embodied a state of being both alive and dead. His sharing of a lifetime of practice, from breakthroughs to breakdowns, was profoundly touching. Roshi teaches with rawness and humanity that resonate deeply. The entire month was a strong pull to let go of everything I thought I knew about Zen, the world, and myself. How wonderful!
