One Continuous Thread: Home Practice Intensive—October
Zen
Seven-day online zazen intensive designed for home practice. Participants can join live webcasts of the Zen Mountain Monastery sesshin while maintaining their own schedules. Suggested donation $10.
About this retreat
This retreat offers a structured home-based alternative to residential sesshin. Rather than traveling to a center, you sit in your own space while accessing live broadcasts from Zen Mountain Monastery's concurrent in-person sesshin. The format allows you to follow formal practice periods while keeping your daily responsibilities intact.
The center has not published details about which sessions are livestreamed, what time they occur, whether dokusan or other individual instruction is available online, or what prior experience is expected. Contact Zen Mountain Monastery directly for specifics on how participation works and what a typical day entails for online participants.
Schedules can change — confirm details on Zen Center of New York City/Fire Lotus Temple's website.
