RETREAT INFO

This Sesshin is a four daylong retreat devoted to samadhi practice, offered both in-person at ZCLA and via Zoom. With Great Silence observed throughout, it is an opportunity to intensify and deepen your practice through the experience of periods of uninterrupted meditation (zazen), walking meditation (kinhin), a dharma talk, service, face-to-face meetings with Sensei Katherine Daiki Senshin Griffith, as well as time for mindful work practice (samu) and meals. Zoom participants will have time to eat, walk and do their own samu at home, then link back into the sesshin schedule. Open to everyone, newcomers are especially welcome to attend.*
