The August Four-Day Sesshin at Green Gulch Farm offers an entry into intensive sesshin retreat practice for those new to it, and a chance for more experienced sitters to touch into the sesshin body/heart/mind.

Please review the example sesshin schedule. The sesshin will consist of sitting and walking meditation, Dharma talks, and ceremonies, with light instruction as needed throughout. Meals will be eaten silently (we may or may not practice oryoki this sesshin).

Participants are welcome to arrive as early as 3:00 pm on Wednesday. The program will start with an orientation at 4 pm on Wednesday and conclude with lunch on Sunday around 1:30–2 pm.

If you have questions about your participation in this sitting, please contact the Ino, Head of the Meditation Hall, at ggfino@sfzc.org.

Before registering, please review the Health and Safety Requirements.
