Half-Day Sit (Online)

The framing here is unusually direct for a retreat listing: no theme, no text study, no promised outcome. The description names what the session is for — "connecting with the still point," making space to find heart-mind and body, and taking refuge, which in Buddhist practice means orienting oneself toward the Buddha, the teachings, and the community. Zazen is seated meditation; this is a three-hour block of it, held online on October 24, 2026.

On audience the description is explicit: the sit is popular with people new to Zen practice as well as more experienced students. Three hours is a manageable first stretch of extended sitting — long enough that posture and attention get a real test, short enough to attempt with no retreat background. It can also serve as a low-commitment way to sample the center before a longer retreat.

Practical details haven't been published yet. The listing names no teacher, gives no start time or time zone, and doesn't say how the online session runs — whether the three hours are continuous sitting or broken into periods with walking meditation, chanting, or a talk. If the shape of the session matters to you, check the registration page or contact the center. At $10, the cost of finding out is minimal.
