Intensives
General Information
ZCOC provides almost monthly opportunities for retreat practice, which includes one day intensives (Zazenkai) as well as two day, three day and five day retreats (sesshin). These are days of intensive meditation practice with mindfulness activities in a supportive community setting.
The schedule for the upcoming year is set each November to allow ample time for planning.
