The focus of this sesshin, held just before the Western New Year, is to renew and deepen our practice. The Lunar New Year begins on February 6, ushering in the Year of the Fire Goat. Traditionally associated with compassion, harmony, creativity, and quiet strength, the Fire Goat invites us to cultivate steadiness, openness, and wholehearted presence as we enter a new year.

The schedule is intentionally spare: Zazen, Walking, Eating, Working, and Resting. Breath by breath, step by step, bite by bite, moment by moment, we turn toward the conditioned mind with clarity and compassion. As the year comes to a close, this is a rare opportunity to let go, empty out, and enter the new year grounded in the simplicity of practice.
