Our Zen practice is not confined to the meditation hall - ideally, our practice is one with our daily life and our everyday environment. Our urban retreats and one-day sits both offer a chance to deepen practice in our ordinary urban environment, without leaving Auckland.

Details:

• The one-day sit opens Saturday morning and finishes late Saturday afternoon.

• The one-day sit is non-residential and is held at the Zendo in Onehunga.

• You will need to bring your own food for lunch (or purchase it in Onehunga). Tea will be supplied at breaks.
