Retreat for Intimacy with Your Heart-Mind

Sesshin, literally means the heart- mind touching itself or the gathering of mind. Sesshin is a period of intensive zazen meditation. Zazen, or seated mind, is the Zen form of silent sitting meditation. It is the core of Zen practice.

In this silent retreat, we will practice zazen together under the guidance of the four core teachers of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care (NYZCCC): Roshi Enkyo O’Hara, Rev. Koshin Paley Ellison, Robert Chodo Campell, and Rev. Trudi Jinpu Hirsch.

Each day will consist of 30 minute-long meditation periods, walking meditation, work practice, body practice, and daily Dharma talks. This retreat is an opportunity to experience the intimacy of Zen practice.
