UK – Broughton Sanctuary X The Zen Samurai

Step into a Sacred Lineage

The wisdom of 16 Samurai generations arrives at Broughton Sanctuary, Yorkshire.

This is your opportunity to train under Sensei Zen Takai, the final bearer of a warrior lineage

rooted in the ancient traditions of Bushido, Zen meditation, and Ninja discipline.

More than a retreat, this is a transformational immersion into the sacred samurai arts —

moving meditation in nature, silence, sword, and breath.

You’ll experience centuries of elemental practices:

Forest walking, Samurai calligraphy, organ-based meditations, and mindful sword training.
All while enjoying the peace of the British countryside – wild swimming, fire temple ceremonies,

and a world-class wellness space designed for inner realignment.

Limited places remain in the historic estate and surrounding retreat houses.
