Rohatsu 7-day sesshin

Join us as we gather for a 7-day sesshin to commemorate Buddha&#39;s great awakening. This is an opportunity to drop more deeply into your own body/mind, to clarify and actualize your deepest intention, to bring consciousness and fresh energy to your life, and to express and appreciate your own path of awakening. The schedule includes periods of half-hour silent sitting meditation, along with walking meditation, a dharma talk by the Guiding Teacher, movement, chanting and bowing, work practice, and oryoki meals, as well as a full moon ceremony on the first day and a special ceremony to celebrate Buddha&#39;s awakening on the last day. There will also be an opportunity to meet one-on-one with the teacher. The most important thing is to show up for yourself and others, to sit down on your cushion or chair and be still, and to give yourself the time and space to feel all that you&#39;re feeling in these extraordinary times. We take a break from the news and reconnect with our own humanity, taking good care of ourselves and each other in a container of kindness and respect. Please register by 11/28.&nbsp;For those sitting the entire sesshin, the suggested fee is $525-350 sliding scale for the week.&nbsp;(Please know that financial capacity should never be an obstacle. There is always the option to offer whatever you can afford.) If you would like to sit a minimum of one full day, but not the full seven days, the suggested fee is $75/day, but you must let us know which days you will be sitting&nbsp;by contacting info@zencenternorthshore.org.. Let us know when registering if you have any dietary restrictions and if you will need housing. ZenZoom will be open as usual for the morning schedule from 6am-7:30am. Please note that the usual Sunday schedule is one hour earlier on 6/13 to accord with the sesshin schedule.
