One Continuous Thread: Home Practice Intensive—April

with Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Jody Hojin Kimmel, Danica Shoan Ankele·Zen

Zenonlinezazendana-based

Week-long online zazen intensive combining live-streamed formal sesshin with optional Zoom meetings. Designed for home practitioners balancing work and family. $10 dana-based participation.

About this retreat

This is an online adaptation of formal sesshin practice—a week-long intensive, April 20–26, held from home. Participants access a live webcast of ZMM's (Zen Mountain Monastery's) sesshin schedule and can join optional Zoom meetings with teachers. The format trades the immersion of in-person residential retreat for the practical reality of sitting while managing ordinary life.

The center has not yet published details about the daily schedule, which teachers will be available, what's covered in the optional Zoom sessions, or whether the webcast includes the full sesshin day (wake time, sitting periods, breaks, meals) or selected talks and periods. Contact ZMM directly for specifics on how to structure your week and what level of participation is expected or recommended.
