Beginners' Half-Day Sitting, CC 10/18

Green Gulch Farm Zen Center (Green Dragon Temple) is holding a half-day sitting on October 18, 2026, built for people new to meditation. The $55 fee covers the full session, which takes place in person. The listing does not give start and end times.

The program is straightforward. It includes:

• Instruction in zazen — seated meditation
• Instruction in kinhin — walking meditation
• Alternating periods of practice
• Discussion with the teacher
• Tea and cookies

Because instruction in both practices is part of the session, you don't need to arrive knowing how to sit or walk in the Zen style — that's what the day teaches. Alternating periods break up the practice rather than running it as one long block, and the discussion with the teacher is a chance to ask questions about what you're learning.

The center has not published the name of the teacher for this session. Check the event page or contact the center for the schedule and any other details before registering.
