SESSHIN SCHEDULE

Those who cannot attend sesshin full-time have the option of signing on for part-time by blocks. A "Round" is 50 minutes of zazen with a posture change at the halfway mark, followed by 10 minutes of kinhin. Dokusan is offered in Blocks I, III and, depending on the size of the sesshin, Block IV.
