Room Assignments: We want participants to know that CMZC Staff take responsibility for room assignments. This is to ensure that to the extent possible, those who are new have the benefit of rooming with those who are familiar with Sesshin. If you have an extenuating circumstance that requires a specific room type, please let us know.

Retreat Fee – $310.00

We invite you to join us for our October Zazenkai (sitting intensive). Varying in length between 2 and 4 days, a Zazenkai is a silent weekend retreat. We follow a sesshin-like schedule; most of the day is dedicated to zazen but includes chanting, a work period, walks, and a dharma talk given by a senior practitioner.

We begin the evening of October 2nd with a Welcome Dinner, and end on October 4th after Brunch.

No prior experience is required to join a Zazenkai. It is a great way to experience your first extended sit, so is a perfect opportunity for newer students. For experienced practitioners, it provides the chance to reinvigorate practice, or just to experience some spaciousness in otherwise busy lives.

Please join us for this Fall practice event.
