Sesshin will begin at 7:50 am and conclude by 5:30 pm. In the morning we will have three periods of zazen followed by a lecture; and in the afternoon we will have two periods of zazen, plus a ceremony to open the Spring Practice Period and install longtime BZC member Sue Oehser as shuso. There will be a two and a half hour midday break, for lunch, rest and work period.
Lunch will be oryoki style, served at tables in the courtyard. Please bring your oryoki bowls, if you have a set. If you need bowls, or would like oryoki instruction, you'll be able to request these through the link we'll send you after you fill out this registration form. (You can also find this link on our website.)
