The days are structured in silence to include sitting and walking meditation, dharma talks, meetings with the teacher (Dokusan), body awareness practice, eating and rest. It is an opportunity for us to reflect more deeply and to renew our capacity to be completely present and awake with ourselves and the world. Sesshin is a time for us to take pause from the usual engagements, responsibilities and busyness of our daily lives and to touch and gather heart and mind through extended periods of silent meditation.
