Saturday Morning Zazenkai

Saturday, May 11

5:30 am–12:30 pm

Dip your toes into the settled waters of extended zazen. The schedule interweaves zazen (seated meditation) and kinhin (walking meditation), offering participants an opportunity to experience a longer meditation period, free of distraction. 

Breakfast will be oryoki-style—that is, we will follow the formal meal ritual used in Zen temples, but no prior experience is necessary. The morning will include a short work period, so please wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. To enhance our concentration, we will observe silence throughout.

Please submit registration form and payment by Wednesday, May 8.

Cost: $45 for NZC members, $55 for nonmembers. Or, pay what you can.
