Join us for a period of intensive practice led by Jisho Warner and Sessei Meg Levie. These three days of practice will be held in silence, with alternating periods of zazen (seated meditation, usually 30-minute periods) and kinhin (walking meditation, usually 10 minutes), and a work period each afternoon. A Dharma talk will be given in the morning and participants will have the opportunity to speak with a teacher (dokusan).

We will be sitting from 7am to 5pm each day.

Attendance all three days is strongly encouraged but not required, though please plan on attending the entire day for days you have registered. Please do not leave in the middle of the day unless you have received permission from one of the teachers (info@stonecreekzen.org).

Vegetarian breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be served each day, and for meals we will be using oryoki (Japanese nesting bowls). Oryoki sets will be available if you do not have one, and instruction will be given each day for those who are new to the practice.

Each day will begin with a short orientation and opportunity for zazen instruction. Please plan on arriving by 6:45 am and on being in your seat ready to start by 6:55am.

We look forward to practicing together!

Jisho Warner is the Abiding Teacher and Sessei Meg Levie serves as Head Priest of and Stone Creek Zen Center. More here.
