In the new year, Chosei Zen invites new students and newly returning students to join 15 minutes of online Zen meditation over 12 days during January 2-17, 2025. Sessions will be held Monday-Friday at 7:00pm CT (5pm PT / 8pm ET) and led by Heather Meikyo Scobie Roshi, Rebecca Ryan 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 12 sessions and see what changes happen over time. 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.

We will meet on the Daily Zazen link. You can register below to receive the link. For students interested to continue beyond the intro series, this same link will allow you to continue joining Daily Zazen (at 7am and 7pm CT daily).

Students living in Madison are also welcome to join in-person introductory sessions on Tuesdays 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 5; more info can be found here.
