Registration Open - Sesshin 5/31 & 6/1

Save the date! Sesshin May 31 and June 1.

For the first time since 2019 we will offer sesshin with a meal! Practice Period students have been preparing for this by learning how participate in 3-bowl eating – the unique zen concentration practice and experience of giver-receiver-gift.

The noon meal on Saturday will be vegan and served in the zendo in this traditional style. All are welcome to sit sesshin and eat together this way. Anyone is also welcomed to sit sesshin and bring a bag lunch if you do not want to eat formally.

Beverly will coordinate this sesshin. The deadline for sign-ups is May 23, allowing us to plan well for the quantity of food needed. A review of eating with the 3 bowls and managing the cloths will be offered on Thursday evening May 30 for those who request this refresher.

Use the registration form here or contact Beverly directly to sign up. Sesshin schedule here.

Sesshin fee is $30 ($40 for those eating Oryoki) or whatever you can comfortably afford.
