Zoom meeting (starts Zoom)

This month, Zazenkai is being held in conjunction with our friends at Santa Barbara Zen Center, who will be in retreat at Jikoji.

Zazenkai is a full day immersion into intensive, silent practice, a deeper meditation, a one-day retreat alternating periods of sitting mediation with walking meditation. Lunch and an afternoon dharma discussion round out the day. All are welcome to join us for all or part of the day.

COST: There is no fee for attending Saturday Zazenkai, which is freely offered, though dana (donations) are always appreciated, and may be made on our Donate page.

If you're thinking about attending a sesshin or extended retreat, Zazenkai is a wonderful way to discover the basics of intensive practice. Lunch will be served.

Please email or call (408-741-9562) for more information.
