Rev. Seirin Tim Schorre: Stillness
Zen Priests Seirin Tim Schorre and Gyōzan Royce Johnson lead a day of intensive practice. Practicing together in a day of sesshin allows us to continue to develop and deepen practice. The sesshin will be in-person for fully vaccinated participants. A zoom link will be provided for those who are unable to attend in person. The cut off date for signing up is Friday morning October 8 at 11 am. Otherwise, it is not possible to guarantee sending the zoom link to late sign ups.
The day will be focused on zazen and the practice of opening the mind and heart. Zazen can ground and support us, everyone around us, and the whole world, allowing us to open to the teachings of wisdom and compassion. The day includes zazen (sitting meditation), kinhin (walking meditation), a dharma talk with discussion, and breaks for meals.
