Zazenkai (All-Day Sittings)
Zazenkai provide one with the opportunity for
intensifying and deepening one's practice through the experience
of longer periods of uninterrupted zazen. Zazenkai are also a
prerequisite for attending sesshin (meditation retreats). As such
a period of extended sitting can be difficult, it is recommended
that you attend at least two regular sittings before signing up
for one. The Center holds six zazenkai per year, which are open
to members and other qualified persons
