Three-Day Rohatsu Sesshin, Online 12/3–12/5
Description
This page is for the ONLINE sesshin registration. If you want to sit in-person, register for Rohatsu Sesshin, City Center 11/28–12/5.
The three-day online Rohatsu Sesshin commemorates Buddha’s enlightenment and closes the Fall Practice Period. This sesshin coincides with the final three days of the in-person sesshin.
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. 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 Rohatsu sesshin is included with 2026 City Center Fall Practice Period at City Center, Online/Commuter but is open to registration by those not participating in the practice period. If you already registered for the practice period there is no need to register for the online sesshin.
