SUMMARY:2026 Fall Practice Period at Green Gulch Farm\, GGF 10/14–12/15 – Waitlist Only
DESCRIPTION:The Fall 2026 Practice Period at Green Gulch Farm is an opportunity for beginning and experienced students to participate in an intense period of residential practice that centers around daily zazen\, work practice\, study\, and regular one-on-one meetings with the teacher. Weekly events include lectures\, formal ceremonies\, classes\, oryoki meals (formal meals in the meditation hall)\, and gatherings with the practice period teacher. Participants commit to stay in the Green Gulch valley during the entire nine weeks. \nThis practice period includes one day of tangaryo sitting\, a one-day sitting\, a five-day sesshin\, and a seven-day Rohatsu sesshin led by Abbot Jiryu Rutschman-Byler. \nStudents who are accepted into practice period generally have participated in at least one all-day sit\, sesshin\, and/or a guest student stay at Green Gulch. If you do not have prior experience with Zen practice\, we strongly suggest completing a one-day sit or sesshin at Green Gulch before applying for the practice period. If you have questions about the practice period and aren’t sure if applying is right for you based on your practice experience\, please contact the Abbot’s assistant at ggfabbotassist@sfzc.org before applying. \nTo Apply:\nPlease review the Practice Period Guidelines/Shingi before applying. Complete and submit a practice period application by the application deadline of September 15\, 2026. \nThe Practice Period Applications Committee will notify applicants as to whether they have been accepted to the practice period by September 8\, 2026. If you need to be notified about your acceptance earlier (for your planning purposes)\, please email ggfabbotassist@sfzc.org and let us know. \nFor questions or more information\, please contact the Abbot’s assistant at ggfabbotassist@sfzc.org.
