Register to Attend Sesshin Online via Zoom

March 24 – March 30, 2025

Online Registration Closes: 12 noon, Sunday, March 23

We’re pleased to again be offering our annual sesshin online via Zoom, sitting together for six days with the in-person sangha at Villa Maria del Mar in Santa Cruz.

Online participants follow the same schedule as the in-person sangha, but meals, walking meditation, and work practice will be taken offline. At the same time, we realize that not everyone will be able to follow the sesshin schedule in sync with the in-person sangha at Villa Maria del Mar.

We will have limited support for online participants this year. As usual, a web page with resources for online participants, including suggestions for setting up your practice space, will be provided. Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer dokusan or practice discussion to online participants.

Before registering, please review the relevant sections of the Annual Bay Area Sesshin 2025 page and be sure to read Norman’s Notes on Sesshin Adapted for Zoom.

A “Welcome” email with the Zoom link, the link to an Arrival Guide, and to an Online Sesshin Resources page will be sent on Sunday, March 23, before the start of sesshin.

To register, please complete and submit the form below. Registration closes on Sunday, March 23, at 12:00 noon (PT).
