Rohatsu Sesshin 2025
November 30 - December 8, 2025
Sesshin
Rohatsu Sesshin’ (‘Shakyamuni Enlightenment Day, Heart/Mind Practice’) is the traditional December, ‘Seven-day Meditation Intensive’ of sitting and walking meditation, three-bowl (oryoki) meals, daily Dharma talks, and personal interviews (dokusan) with the teacher.
Because Baker Roshi’s Baker Roshi’s condition, and how it will be at the time of Sesshin is not quite clear, we will only be accepting those who have a prior relationship with Baker Roshi, and who have been to Sesshin or like events here before. We are expecting him to be here, guiding and providing input, but are not sure if he will be giving full lectures. Most likely, there’ll be other Teachers and Practice Leaders who will support the Sesshin. We are commited to following the complete Sesshin schedule, but will stay flexible with regard to lectures and teaching.
We hope that participants will bring their own oryoki set; we are happy to loan sets to those who do not have them. Sesshin arrival is on November 30th, between 4-5 PM. There will be a welcoming dinner at 6 PM. Sesshin departure will be about 11AM, December 8th, after a festive brunch. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
