A day of just sitting in silence and stillness with Ellen Webb

The zazenkai will run from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm; it is a rare opportunity to spend a day doing nothing but zazen, kinhin, bowing and eating. We will maintain silence throughout the day with the exception of bells to mark meditation periods, and chanting the Refuges aloud at 4:00 pm.

Participants should plan to come for the whole day. A break mid-day will allow time for sack lunches to be eaten in the community room or, if we’re enjoying fair weather, outdoors.

There will be a ten-minute period of bowing at your own pace prior to the lunch break, and we will have two periods of fast kinhin. Both of these activities can be adapted to harmonize with individual needs and abilities.

Sign up below. 

The sesshin fee is $15 (or whatever you can afford).  Mark your check with the notation "Zazenkai" and place it in the slot in the laundry room door, or mail it to the BZC Office Manager at 1931 Russell Street, Berkeley, CA 94703.  

Please feel free to contact Ellen Webb, ellenwebbdance@gmail.com, if you have any questions.
