Half-Day Sit (online)
Zen
Three-hour online zazen sit hosted by Zen Mountain Monastery. Open to newcomers and experienced practitioners alike.
About this retreat
A short online sit—three hours total—structured around zazen (sitting meditation). The description mentions "the still point" and "heart-mind and body," which suggests attention to both the quiet of the practice and its embodied dimension. This is entry-level territory: no prior experience required, no complex ritual or schedule to navigate.
Online format means you sit at home, on your own cushion. You'll be practicing in real time with others, but on your own schedule otherwise. Useful for someone testing the waters, or for an experienced practitioner who wants a contained practice session on a Saturday morning.
Schedules can change — confirm details on Zen Center of New York City/Fire Lotus Temple's website.
