All Day Sittings
All-day sittings or zazenkai, which means coming together for meditation, are held monthly from May to November in months when there is no multi-day retreat.
The all-day sittings are held at our teacher’s home on Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada, which is a short drive from our regular practice location in Pembroke, Maine. To enter Canada and return to the U.S., you may need a passport. Please check customs and border regulations in Canada and the U.S. if you would like to attend but do not have a passport.
The all-day sittings begin at 9:00 a.m Eastern Time (note that New Brunswick is on Atlantic Time) and end at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. They include a liturgy service (chanting), periods of sitting and and walking meditation, a Dharma talk, private meetings with the teacher to discuss your meditation practice (dokusan) and a simple vegetarian lunch.
