Weekend Sitting

A Weekend Sitting is a meditation intensive (Friday-Sunday).

This event is open to both experienced practitioners and people new to Zen practice. If this will be your first meditation intensive with BZC, please send us an email (office@boulderzen.org) to set up a short phone call before registering.

In addition to two 7-day Sesshins, BZC will offer two Weekend Sittings in 2022:

February 18-20
August 12-14

Friday will include a welcome dinner, an introduction to the weekend with Zazen instruction, and oryoki instruction will be provided for those who need it.

Saturday will be a full day of Zazen, with oryoki meals, formal tea, and a dharma talk given by Zenki Roshi.

Sunday will include oryoki breakfast, Zazen, and will end with an informal lunch.

Participants will have the chance to meet privately with the teacher for dokusan.

In-person participation is limited to 15 participants. Participants are required to attend the full weekend. Online participation is possible, and you may commit to any amount of participation.
