Our typical schedule for the day:

We start at 9 and end at 4. Part time attendance is fine, though joining us for the whole day is great.

Our morning block goes from 9-12. We have a silent potluck vegetarian lunch and rest period from 12-1. The afternoon block goes from 1-4.

We alternate 25 minute sits with 5 minute walking meditations. It’s fine to sit in a chair, or switch between chair and cushion.

In the morning, a long outdoor walk (weather permitting) replaces one of the sits. In the afternoon, yoga or qigong replaces a sit.

In the morning, there’s also a Sutra Service in place of one sitting period. In the afternoon, we close with a short dharma talk or a koan conversation.

Optional Work in the Room (individual meeting with our teacher Tenney Nathanson Roshi) is available during the afternoon block.
