An Evening of Zen – Online
Additional 2025 Dates
July 22nd ~ September 23rdJoin us for an evening of Zen meditation. We will alternate periods of zazen (seated meditation) and kinhin (walking meditation). Jokai Roshi will offer an opportunity for one-on-one private interview, followed by a dharma talk. Our meeting will be conducted in essential silence with guidance offered at the beginning.
A one-on-one interview is a private meeting with a teacher to discuss your meditation practice and ask any questions you might have. Interviews are optional for newcomers and encouraged for regular practitioners.
This meeting is suitable for both beginning and experienced meditators. Attendance is particularly encouraged for those wishing to deepen their realization of Zen. This evening retreat is offered quarterly.
