Year-End Zazenkai 2025
A Daylong Meditation Retreat
(Zoom & In-person)
Led by TBD
Monday, December 29–Tuesday, December 30
The focus of this zazenkai that comes just before the western New Year is enlivening our practice. The Lunar New Year begins on January 29th. 2026 is the year of the Fire Horse, representing vitality, speed, and perseverance. The Year of the Fire Horse is expected to be a time of energy, change, and opportunity. It encourages bold actions, pursuit of passions, and embracing new experiences. The schedule is spare: Zazen, Walking, Eating, Working, and Resting. Breath by breath, step by step, bite by bite, moment by moment we will look directly at the conditioned mind. A wonderful opportunity to empty and deepen as we end the year. If you wish to participate part time, please let Myoki know your precise attendance, including expected arrival and departure times. Part time consists of at least a half a day, including all scheduled activities. Housing is not guaranteed. First come, first served. Newcomers please also fill out the application online. Both first time* and seasoned practitioners are encouraged and welcome to participate.
In-person participation is limited. Please register early to guarantee a seat in the Zendo.
