​City life can be overwhelming, but it’s also full of opportunities to find peace, happiness, and renewal. Discover how “Stillness in Motion” can help you navigate daily pressures with greater ease and calm, especially if you’re feeling stressed, burned out or mentally overloaded.

​Learn from a genuine Chan (Chinese Zen) Master how to bring mindfulness into your everyday life and find a deep stillness within, no matter what’s happening around you.

​We’re thrilled Zarko is visiting NYC from Croatia! We look forward to him christening our new Manhattan center as its very first speaker—sharing his wisdom about meditation, teachings and creating a thriving community of practitioners.

​Zarko Andricevic is the founder of Dharmaloka Chan Buddhist Community and Chan Retreat Center in Croatia. He first encountered Buddhism in 1975 and has been a martial arts and yoga teacher since the 1970s. In the mid-80s, Zarko started Croatia’s first Buddhist study and meditation group.

In 1996, he met Chan Master Sheng Yen, founder of Dharma Drum Mountain, and became his student. Zarko received Dharma transmission from Master Sheng Yen in June 2001. Since then, he has been teaching and leading Chan retreats in Europe, USA, Canada, Taiwan, and Australia. Today Zarko lives and teaches at Chan Retreat Center in Croatia.
