Three-Day Sesshin, Online 5/28–5/30

Sesshins are traditional Soto Zen meditation retreats that include Dharma talks, sitting and walking meditation, and the opportunity for group practice discussion sessions.

This sesshin will be offered through the Online Practice Center and will be geared towards supporting those who are participating at home. In addition to sitting and walking meditation and online morning, noon and evening service, there will be Dharma talks each morning.

We ask those who attend sesshin to commit to participating in the schedule as completely as possible. To support busy schedules, we offer the option to purchase single-day tickets (please indicate which day you want to sit in the registration form). If you have questions regarding the schedule, please consult with the director of the Online Practice Center via email (dan.gudgel@sfzc.org) before completing your registration.

This three-day online sesshin closes the 2026 City Center Spring Practice Period, but is open to registration by those not participating in the practice period. If you are already registered for the practice period there is no need to register for this online sesshin.

You can register for the Five-Day onsite version of this sesshin here.
