In the new year, Chosei Zen invites new students and newly returning students to join 15 minutes of online Zen meditation over 14 days during January 2-19, 2024. U.S. sessions will be held Monday-Friday at 8:30pm CT ( (6:30pm PT / 9:30pm ET) and led by Heather Meikyo Scobie Roshi and Joe Kizan Pittelli Sensei. Each session will last 30 minutes and consist of:

• 5 minutes of instruction

• 15 minutes of zazen (seated Zen meditation)

• 10 minutes of Q&A

Students are invited to commit to joining each of the 14 sessions and see what changes happen throughout 3 weeks. Students are requested to be on time by joining sessions at least 5 min early. Please register below. If you have questions, please send them to virtualdojo@choseizen.org. For students interested to continue beyond the 14 days, we will talk at the end about different Zen training opportunities.

Students living in Madison are also welcome to join in-person introductory sessions on Sundays at Daikozen-ji. More information for in-person intro classes can be found here. An intro session at the Rhode Island Dojo is planned for Jan 7; more info can be found here.
