Regular Practitioner Program

After attending an Introductory Workshop or the Zen JumpStart program, the next step is the New Practitioner program. After the New Practitioner program, you are welcome to enroll in the Regular Practitioner program.

	The Regular Practitioner Program at ZCOC provides for 10 to 12 programs per month of seated meditation, talks, readings, discussions, work practice, individual instruction, service projects, and socials. ZCOC offers programs on Koans, Engaged Buddhism and Dharma Films. The Center also provides special programs, workshops, formal tea ceremony, and community meetings. ZCOC offers regular opportunities for intensive practice: Zazenkai (one day retreats) and Sesshin (three and five day retreats). You will receive a detailed schedule of programs every month.
	Those who practice at the Center may come to all or as many of the programs as they wish. In order to fulfill our mission, to develop a Zen practice and build community, regular practitioners are required to attend a minimum of twice a month, including one samu (work practice) and individual instruction, as well as to read the monthly e-newsletter to stay up to date.
	Fees paid by those who practice at the Center are the primary means of financial support for ZCOC and are fully tax deductible. Fees are $70.00 per month.
	You will receive a password for the practitioner website.
