One Day Sit
October 24, 2026, 7:30 am - 6 pm
Register below by Oct 21

Join us for one day of practice led by Hosshin Shoaf in the style of our sesshin, a retreat devoted simply to sitting zazen.  The schedule will be that of a typical sesshin, but the day itself will be shorter than the usual 5 am - 8 pm.  Whether you're just establishing your practice and are looking for the opportunity to try some intensive sitting or you're an experienced practitioner with limited time, this one-day sit is a chance to set aside all other home and temple activities and just engage in zazen.

A simple silent vegetarian lunch (without formal oryoki) will be included in the day's schedule; for dinner, we'll visit a local restaurant to talk about our experience, get questions answered and wrap up our day.  (We typically gather for this kind of discussion after breakfast on the last day of sesshin.)  Previous participants have found this informal discussion time particularly valuable and enjoyable.

Those traveling from out of town are welcome to spend the night in the zendo or camp in the yard (guidelines here) to join us for regular Sunday practice on Oct 25th (please indicate such in registration form below).

Register below by Oct 21st.  Virtual attendance is welcome without registration; just drop in as your schedule allows, using the regular green button on our virtual practice page.

Note that there are two designated payment amount options associated with your registration: base and sponsor. 

Base contributions ​are calculated to cover Sanshin's costs in carrying out the event.

Sponsor contributions help our temple maintain financial sustainability while welcoming practitioners unable to give the base amount.

​There is also an option to offer what you can based on your own circumstances and discernment​, below or beyond these designated amounts.

​Everyone's sincere participation and practice is appreciated.
