More information will be available closer to the event.

Currently scheduled for Nov 1 to Dec 8 2025.

During this period, we will create a community of practitioners engaged in and exploring the dharma in our daily lives. Each participant will individually maintain daily practice commitments, while also meeting together periodically in-person and/or via Zoom with the other Intensive participants to learn and share.

Participation in the Intensive requires advance registration and a set of commitments. To become a participant, you must be willing to engage in:

• Daily zazen practice.

• Throughout November, attendance at a weekly dharma talk/discussion with Dan Dorsey Roshi and a weekly on-line support circle meeting led by a senior ZDS practitioner.

• Samu – mindful work practice of your choice at home, at the zendo, or elsewhere.

• Personal dharma study – reading a zen-related book or other zen-related learning activity of your choice.

• Participation, either full- or part-time, in the Rohatsu sesshin (Dec 3-8).
