SUMMARY:Five-Day Sesshin\, CC 5/26–5/30
DESCRIPTION:This sesshin closes the 2026 City Center Spring Practice Period\, but is open to registration onsite or online by those not participating in the practice period. \nSesshin\, 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. \nOpen to everyone\, this five-day sesshin retreat will be a fully silent retreat with a dharma talk on the last day only. \nIn order to understand the nature of our formal retreats and be clear about the details of the practice\, please review the schedule. We ask those who attend the sesshin to commit to participating in the complete schedule. \nWe will be using the traditional Zen form of oryoki for eating breakfast and lunch in the zendo. While meals are included as part of the sesshin\, you will need an oryoki set to participate. You may either borrow informal bowls\, bring your own set\, purchase one ($100)\, or rent a set for the day. An oryoki instruction session will be held Tuesday\, May 26 at 11:15 am in the City Center dining room. If needed\, the formal oryoki meal can be substituted with silent meals in the dining room. \nTuesday\, May 26 9:00 am     Check in 10:30 am    Sesshin Orientation (buddha hall)11:30 am    Oryoki Training  \nSample Schedule
