January Sesshin

Every third Saturday of the month, we hold sesshin, an overnight intensive zazen practice from Wednesday evening to Sunday noon.
January sesshin will be held from Wednesday, January 13 to Sunday, January 18. From Wednesday to Thursday, after early morning zazen, we will return to our normal daily routines, such as going to work from the dojo and returning to the dojo in the evening for zazen and overnight stay, spending time intensively facing our selves.
