Equinox Zazenkai: A One Day Meditation Retreat

A one-day zazenkai offers the shape of a sesshin — extended sitting, silence, community — without the multi-day commitment. The equinox timing suggests a natural rhythm for practice; the retreat's framing around "capacity for sustained meditation" signals it's built for sitting, not lecturing or instruction.

The center has not published the daily schedule, sitting period length, or whether dokusan (private meetings with a teacher) is offered. Contact Great Vow Zen Monastery for those details, and to confirm whether prior Zen experience is expected.
