One Continuous Thread: Home Practice Intensive—March

This retreat takes the traditional sesshin format—multiple daily zazen periods, kinhin, meals, and work practice—and makes it accessible to people who can't leave home. You're not watching a recording; you're joining a live broadcast of ZMM's actual retreat schedule, which means you're sitting in real time with the community, even from your own space.

The structure is straightforward: you follow the sesshin's timing from home. Log in for each sitting period. The live webcast shows the schedule and holds the container; you provide your own quiet space and the commitment to show up for each session. This isn't a modified retreat—it's the full retreat, accessed remotely.

At $10, the entry price is nominal. This is worth clarifying: either it's a suggested minimum donation, or ZMM is intentionally keeping the barrier low. Check the signup page for details on what that covers and whether additional dana (voluntary contribution) is expected or welcomed.

The title—"One Continuous Thread"—suggests the retreat's implicit theme: how formal practice stitches into ordinary life. In a traditional sesshin you step out of the world. Here, you're threading zazen back into it, which changes the practice slightly. Worth considering whether that works for you.
