In Person and Online
Zazenkai and Dharma Talk
We invite you to participate in Village Zendo’s zazenkai, a half-day retreat that will be held both online and in person. It will include ample periods of meditation, service, a Dharma talk, and conclude with open sozan.
Zazenkai will be held in a hybrid format, in which both virtual and in-person participants will practice together.
For those that are attending in person, you can learn more about practicing with us in person at this link.
For those that will be practicing with us virtually, we recommend that you review the Village Zendo’s guidelines for online sitting. (Note that zazenkai will not be held at the public zendo link, but a private link which will be emailed to you upon registration.)
