Application Deadline: October 15
Please Join Us for Our 5 Day Autumn Sesshin, November 8, 7pm to November 13, Noon.
Sesshins, or retreats, offer us the opportunity to deepen our meditation practice and strengthen the awareness we carry into our everyday activities by setting aside time away from work, family, and other commitments to simply sit in silent meditation.
The schedule consists of zazen, seated meditation; kinhin, walking meditation; work practice; rest periods; lectures; and private meetings with the teacher. We offer one to five day sesshins (retreats).
During our sesshins, people who do not live within a 30-minute drive from the Center, sleep at the Center or are housed with our local members. They may also find accommodations on their own if they choose.
With all our sesshins, we are flexible with the needs of individuals. If you have questions, contact the sesshin director listed on the form.
