Currently we meet Sunday mornings from 10:00 to 12:00. During that time there are three periods of zazen (meditation), a zen talk, and private interview (dokusan) with the teacher.

We also meet for two periods of zazen on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 to about 8:30.

Please note: For your summer planning: ZCP will close for the month of August. This includes all Wednesday evenings, Sundays and the All Day Sit. The Center will reopen after the Labor Day weekend.

All day sittings (sesshin) are usually the fourth Saturday of every month from 9:00am to 5:00pm. The zendo is closed on Sundays following sesshin and durring Ordinary Mind sesshins at Garrison, NY.
