Half-Day Sit

A three-hour zazen (seated Zen meditation) intensive at Fire Lotus Temple, the Zen Center of New York City, held in person on November 21, 2026. The listing describes it as an extended period of silence and stillness — a single three-hour block of sitting rather than a class, workshop, or multi-day retreat. No teacher is named in the listing.

How the three hours are structured isn't spelled out: the listing doesn't say how many sitting periods there are, whether walking meditation is included, or whether there's any instruction or talk. If those details matter to you — particularly if you're new to zazen — ask the center through the signup page before registering. What the description does say is that the sit is popular with both newcomers to Zen practice and more experienced students, and the cost is a flat $35.
