Petals open wide,

the whole world shines back.
For practitioners wishing to walk the Way more fully within the Chosei Zen lineage.
This tier supports deeper training forms, periodic guidance, and access to in-person retreats. Sesshin and extended trainings carry additional costs—covering venue, food, and accommodation—kept as low and transparent as possible.
Radiate is not about hierarchy or intensity. It simply reflects a willingness to let practice shape the whole being—quietly, honestly, without pretence.
Includes:
• Everything in Rise
• Eligibility for sesshin (in-person retreats)
• Deeper training forms (e.g., shodō, okyō, tai chi)
• Periodic mentoring and opportunities to serve within the community
Suggested donation: £25+ / month
Note: In-person retreats include additional costs (venue, food, accommodation) — kept low and transparent.
Supporting Wandering Ox
Wandering Ox is a registered UK Community Interest Company (CIC) — a regulated, not‑for‑profit organisation created to serve the community that gathers around this practice.
We rely entirely on the donations of our members and friends. Your support allows us to keep our sessions running, offer training that’s accessible, and open our doors to anyone who needs a steady place to sit, breathe, and practise.
Every contribution helps. It sustains the rhythms of the community and keeps this Way available to all.
Thank you for supporting the practice — and helping keep it clear, honest, and open to everyone.
