Three-Day Sesshin, Online

Soto Zen

Soto Zenonlinesesshinzazenkinhin

Three-day online Soto Zen sesshin with daily zazen, kinhin, services, and Dharma talks. Participants can join the full retreat or attend single days.

About this retreat

This is San Francisco Zen Center's three-day online sesshin, structured around the traditional Soto Zen schedule of sitting and walking meditation, morning and evening services, and Dharma talks. The center has not yet published the lead teacher's name, the daily schedule, or whether prior sitting experience is expected.

Online participants join the full practice rhythm — you're not watching a recording, but participating in real-time group sessions. The center offers both a full three-day commitment and single-day tickets for those with schedule constraints. Contact SFZC directly for details on how online participation works technically (Zoom link, what's required of your space, whether dokusan or small-group discussion happens online) and what the actual sitting-period structure looks like each day.
