The Sun Mountain Zen Flexi-Sesshin is held each year in January following Christmas New Year public holidays. While maximum participation in any Sesshin is to be encouraged, the usual requirement for full attendance at Sesshin is waived in favour of flexibility of attendance so the meditation periods may be integrated with the normal activities of the week including work and family events.
Morning and evening sitting occur daily. Some days will have a typical sesshin format for those who are able to attend; for others, attendance in modules according to your personal needs is available. Do please respect others need to sit and only enter the Zendo during kin-hin. As usual, you are welcome to sleep over!
Flexi-sesshin offers a time for intensive practice and daily access to your teacher for regular dokusan. Invigorating Zen practice is an excellent way to begin the New Year.
The 2018 Flexi-Sesshin:
· starts on Sunday the 21st of January at 5pm
· will run as ‘flexi’ from Sunday Evening
· there will be a Mid week visit to Goma (TBA)
· will run as a Sesshin from Wed
· finishes Mid-Morning (circa 9.00 a.m.) on Friday 26th of January with a Family Brunch (all are welcome to brunch regardless of participation in Sesshin and families also welcome).
