Half-Day Sitting (2024)
Please stay tuned for upcoming half-day sitting...
Upcoming Date: Sunday, August 18, 2024
Time: 9am-12pm PDT (Hybrid)
Led By: Lucy Laoshi
Description:
The half-day sitting is an opportunity to settle our mind-body and develop awareness. There are four periods of 30-min zazen (sitting meditation) alternating with 10-min kinhin (slow walking meditation), and a short service with chanting and bowing practice at the end.
The half-day sitting is offered both online and in-person. Our home zendo in the Height Ashbury neighborhood in San Francisco has limited capacity for in-person participation.
If you have never attended our meditation events before, please contact us first and speak with Lucy about your practice background before signing up.
Fees: This event is by donation. Suggested amount is $30-50. You are welcome to send your donation via Paypal (giving@harmonyzen.org) or Venmo (@harmonyzen), or if you wish to offer cash or checks in person, you may bring an envelop and leave it on the altar.
Registration: Please register below and choose the "online" or "in person" option accordingly. You'll receive additional details about the sitting. The cut-off time for registration is the end of Friday before the half-day sitting on Sunday.
