SUMMARY:Five-Day Sesshin\, GGF 11/10–11/15
DESCRIPTION:Sesshin\, meaning “to gather\, collect\, and convey the mind-heart\,” is a traditional Soto Zen meditation retreat that includes formal zendo meals\, Dharma talks\, sitting and walking meditation\, and private interviews with senior teachers. \nIn order to understand the nature of our formal retreats\, and to be clear about the details of the practice\, please review a typical sesshin schedule\, as well as the guidelines for zendo conduct. We ask those who attend sesshin to commit to following these guidelines and to participating in the schedule completely. If you have questions regarding the schedule or guidelines\, please consult with the head of the meditation hall (the ino) via email (ggfino@sfzc.org) before completing your registration. \nThe in-person sesshin is open to those who have experience with formal Zen practice\, including at least two in-person One-Day Sittings at Green Gulch Farm or City Center (or comparable experience and permission of sesshin leader). \nThere will be an orientation on Tuesday\, November 10 at 3:00 pm. The sesshin will begin on Tuesday after dinner and conclude with lunch on Sunday. \nTo register for this sesshin\, begin by completing the application form. \nOnce you have been approved for the sesshin\, you will be sent an email with a link to complete your registration and process your payment. \nPlease pay as soon as you are able and at least 2 weeks before the event so waitlist people can be accommodated. \nMeals are included in the cost of sesshin. As most meals will be eaten formally in the zendo meditation hall\, please plan on bringing your oryoki set. If you do not have a set\, you can purchase one on arrival for an additional $55. \nThis sesshin is part of the 2026 Fall Practice Period at Green Gulch Farm\, 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 sesshin.
