Every Wednesday evening we gather for chanting at 6:00 PM, followed by zazen at 6:30 PM ET. Our sitting period is for about 25 minutes. We then have a five minute period of walking meditation whereby members get up from their cushions and walk in a mindful way. This is often followed by a short teisho (talk) given by one of our Roshis or Sensei. After the talk, we will sit in zazen until about 7:30. We have a short closing period using a chant from our chant book.
