DAY-LONG SITTING MEDITATION
with Shôken Michael Stone

Just being able to sit still, with others, with instruction, is a great gift.

SUN, SEPT 16

By donation (Suggested $100)

Primarily in silence, we will practice sitting and walking meditation with instructions, with a dharma talk. This is an excellent chance for beginners to learn to meditate with support from a teacher.

We will integrate Vipassana (Insight meditation) with some of the forms from Zen. Please join us for a day of community practice in silence. If you can't make longer retreats, this is a way to touch base with silence.
