Sunday Mornings at Zen Mountain Monastery

Zen

Zenday-sitzazenkinhinchanting

Three-hour Sunday morning program at Zen Mountain Monastery for returning practitioners. Includes chanting, zazen, kinhin, and a teacher talk, with optional community lunch afterward.

About this retreat

This is a weekly Sunday morning sitting, not a retreat in the residential or extended sense — it's a regular community program open to people already familiar with the practice. The three-hour format includes the core elements of a Zen practice session: sitting (zazen), walking meditation (kinhin), and chanting, followed by a talk from a teacher.

The program concludes with an optional community lunch, making it accessible to those who want to stay and connect with the sangha afterward or leave right after practice.
