Daylong Sit / Zazenkai – Saturday January 21, 2023

Join Valerie Forstman and our Sangha
for a Zazenkai on Saturday January 21, 2023.

The Zazenkai will be both on-site and on-line.

A Zazenkai is a daylong sit which allows meditators to devote one full day to their practice. If you are new to meditation and have never done a retreat (single or multi-day), a Zazenkai is a great way to get your feet wet with longer periods of silent sitting practice. The day consists of sitting and walking meditation. One or two movement sessions, a dharmatalk from Valerie and Q&A in the afternoon.

Experienced practitioners benefit from these daylong retreats which deepen practice.  Our first Zazenkai this year will be hybrid,  streamed from our Zendo. It will be both online and on-site. If you plan to come in person please bring your own lunch, tea will be provided. Also, be sure to read and follow our COVID-19 Protocols.

Schedule (Mountain Time)

6-8am Sitting
8:45 Movement
9am-Noon Sit and dharma talk

For online participants, the retreat zoom room will open a little before 6am MT.

For all participants who don’t want to or can’t make the 6am MT start time, you may start your day with movement at 8:45am MT or sitting and a short introduction at 9am. The dharma talk will be at about 10am MT.

The dharma talk will be recorded and will be available on our YouTube Channel within two weeks.

Cost is $50 for the day, or an amount you can reasonably afford.  Your support ensures that we can continue to offer our free events and low cost retreats.
