Zenday-sitzazenbeginner-friendly

Three-hour zazen intensive on May 30. Open to both new and experienced practitioners. $35.

About this retreat

A short zazen sit—three hours total—framed around connecting with stillness and finding what the center calls the heart-mind and body. This format works well if you're testing whether a longer retreat fits your schedule, or if you practice regularly but want a focused morning or afternoon without the commitment of a full day or multi-day sesshin.
