City Center is pleased to offer its first One-Day Sitting of 2025 in our newly renovated zendo. This daylong meditation will also be part of the four-week practice session led by Abbot Doshin Mako Voelkel focused on Dogen Zenji’s Tenzo Kyokun (Instructions to the Cook). Join us and engage anew in the timeless practice of Zen in our beautifully revitalized temple!
One-day sittings offer traditional Soto Zen all-day meditation practice. In order to understand the nature of our formal retreats, and to be clear about the details of the practice, please review a typical one-day sitting schedule. We ask those who attend one-day sittings to commit to participating in the complete schedule.
If you will need a chair in the zendo for the entire day, please indicate this when you sign up.
