One-day Zazenkai (One-Day Sit)

Please consider taking a day from your busy life and devoting it to meditation. Our Zazenkai will take place from 7:30 am – 4:30 pm at Seattle Aikikai (604 19th Ave E, Seattle, WA 98112). The Han will start at 7:35 AM.

Please plan to bring a bag lunch and any other snacks you may need for the day.

The registration fees will help pay for the additional costs associated with this event. There is a free option for those that need it. Online participants may use the regular practice Zoom link at no charge, but we appreciate any amount of donation to help cover the cost of the event.

For teacher dana, you may give in-person using the donation box, or online at our donation link.  If you are using the online option, please include a note as to which teacher(s) to direct your dana.
