OVERNIGHTS & RESIDENCY

Members coming from a distance—or even those who live not too far away—can arrange to stay at the Center overnight so as to take advantage of added time in the zendo or to attend two back-to-back sittings (for example, Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning).  Check with the Center beforehand to be sure of space availability.

​

A member may find that the time is right in their life for a more concerted form of practice, and full-time residency at the Center emerges as a possibility. The CZC is not a training temple with a full program of daily activity geared toward its residential staff; for that, one might look to residential training at the Rochester Zen Center. Instead, we offer an opportunity to framing one's existing everyday life in the context of a practice environment for a time, taking advantage of frequent access to the zendo and dokusan room, and sharing in the quiet background work that sustains the practice life of the Center. More more information on residency, including cost, responsibilities, and expectations is available here.
