One Day Sesshin with Daichi Zenni
Water Moon Dojo, Seattle
Register for this event by sending email to: contact@watermoondojo.us
Schedules, guidelines for conduct, and directions to the monastery can be found here,

Attending Osesshin is a commitment to full time participation.  Kosesshin allows for less than full time participation.  In order for kosesshin to run smoothly we request that you provide your arrival and departure dates and approximate times and keep us updated of changes.  Temple housing is limited and we appreciate your flexibility.  Any help with set up before or clean-up following sesshin is greatly appreciated.  There may be a wait-list for any part of this month of practice. People on the wait-list will be contacted immediately as spaces become available.
Thank you,
