First Saturday Zazenkai

A Full Day Intensive

As in training our bodies, the key to training our minds is varying the intensity of practice. Every First Saturday of the month, we offer Zazenkai, a day-long dive into intensive, silent practice, deepening our Zen meditation. Led by Doug Jacobson.

If you're thinking of attending a sesshin or extended retreat, Zazenkai is a wonderful introduction to intensive practice. Lunch will be served. More info.
