Half-Day Sit (online)
Zen
Three-hour online zazen intensive on September 26. Open to new and experienced practitioners.
About this retreat
A short online sit focused on zazen (seated meditation) and grounding in stillness. The retreat describes itself as practice in "connecting with stillness, making space to find the heart-mind and body, and taking refuge"—language that suggests an emphasis on direct experience rather than instruction.
At three hours, this is a contained introduction or midday deepening, not a full-day immersion. The center has not published a detailed schedule, teacher name, or information about how the online format is structured (whether there will be talks, group practice, or silent sitting only). Contact Zen Center of New York City for those details.
Schedules can change — confirm details on Zen Center of New York City/Fire Lotus Temple's website.
