Half-day Sit

A brief, accessible entry point to intensive sitting practice. Three hours of zazen—the core Zen meditation—structured around finding what Zen calls the still point: the place where mind and body settle. The calendar description frames it as a refuge practice, suggesting the sit includes elements of taking shelter in the Buddha, dharma, and sangha (the community).

This format suits people testing whether sitting practice appeals to them, or experienced practitioners who want a focused morning or afternoon without committing to a full-day or multi-day retreat.
