Open PP One-Day Sitting

Open PP One-Day Sitting


Sat, May 3, 2025

Registration is live for our May 3rd one-day sitting to open the spring practice period. Abiding teacher Linda Galijan and Greg Fain will lead. The day includes a ceremony to install our Shuso, Mark Copithorne, Genzan Seishi (Dark Mysterious Mountain/Sincere Aspiration).

For this one-day sit, we'll experiment with a more fully developed and discrete online program. The online zendo will have its own director and doan. Zazen periods will not be hybrid, but online attendees will stream into the zendo for service, lecture, and the opening ceremony.

The link is the same for both online and in-person registration:

Register here by Monday April 28th.

You still need to register for the sit, even if you’ve signed up for practice period. Practice period participants will be given priority through Wednesday April 16th, as we have an in-person capacity limit. If you aren’t in practice period, you can still register, and your name will go on a waiting list.

The suggested donation is $35/day ($15/day for online), or whatever you can afford.

Contact Director Colleen Busch with questions about the in-person sit. For more information about the online option, please contact Laurie Senauke or Mary Beth Lamb.
