Reminders About Sesshins

  • If there is any change in your sesshin status, you must contact Roshi.
  • The sesshin fee as well as your membership dues, if you are a member of the VZC, must be paid in full before the deadline for sesshin applications. If this is a hardship for you, please contact Jed Graef. Likewise, if you are unable to pay the sesshin fee, please contact Jed.
  • Several days after the application deadline you will receive an e-mail formally confirming your acceptance to the sesshin. If you have any questions about the sesshin or sesshin procedures, please do not hesitate to contact the Center.
  • Part-time attendance is not an option for seven-day sesshins unless this is your first sesshin. In that case you may apply to the first three days of the sesshin.
