Zazenkai
Village Zendo One-Day Retreat
Friday 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Saturday
8:00 am - 5:00 pm
Full schedule
The Village Zendo's monthly one-day retreats (zazenkai) are a great way to experience a short, intensive meditation retreat right here in the city.
Each retreat features sitting meditation (zazen), a dharma talk, a Zen ritual meal (oryoki), and private interview (dokusan or daisan) with Roshi Pat Enkyo O'Hara, Sensei Barbara Joshin O'Hara, and/or Assistant Teachers at the Village Zendo.
People are welcome to come for the entire day or any portion of it, but need to inform the registrar in advance.
Instruction is available for those who are unfamiliar with Zen rituals and procedures. Please make sure to contact the registrar in advance if you need instruction.
Please join us also on Friday evening at 6:30 p.m. as we prepare for the retreat. The evening features two periods of zazen and a period of mindful work (samu) as we get the zendo ready for the day ahead.
Pre-registration required: $25 for members, $50 for non-members.
