Home Altar Workshop -- Registration closed.
September 20, 2025
9 am - 5 pm

Hosshin Shoaf will lead a day devoted to establishing a home altar as a foundation of practice at home.  He'll provide the wooden pieces and necessary supplies and guide participants in the assembly of an altar that can sit on a surface or be hung on a wall.  This is the same altar we use in the common room at Sanshin.  Previous experience with wood, building or crafts is helpful but not necessary.  

The day will also include zazen, a talk from Hosshin about the various elements that make up a typical altar, and a closing ceremony at which we will offer incense, bows and chanting at our new altars.

The cost of registration is $100 and includes all construction materials and a simple vegetarian lunch.  Registration is now closed.
