One Continuous Thread: Home Practice Intensive—December

Soto Zen

Soto Zenonlinezazen

Six-day online zazen intensive running parallel to Zen Mountain Monastery's formal sesshin. Join live webcasts of the sesshin schedule or create your own practice routine at home, balancing sitting with work and family obligations.

About this retreat

This retreat offers a structure for sustained home practice during the winter sesshin period. Rather than attending in person, you can follow Zen Mountain Monastery's formal retreat schedule via live webcast, or adapt the timing to fit your circumstances. The retreat runs December 27, 2026 through January 1, 2027.

The center has not yet published details about the sesshin schedule itself, what the live webcast will include, or how to set up your home practice space. Contact ZMM directly for information about sitting periods, breaks, and whether dokusan or other individual instruction is available to online participants.
