Meditation Training Practice Day: 1-Day Retreat
Saturday, January 31, 2026.
9:00am - 3:00pm PST (Hybrid. However, only 12 spots for in-person so register ASAP)
We are offering a one-day silent retreat geared to all who have completed any of the Meditation Training in Four Short Weeks 1.0 (being offered in January at SFZC) or Meditation Training 2.0: Mindfulness & Working with the 5 Hindrances (being offered in February through March at SFZC) OR a comparable meditation program. The day offers an opportunity to put the various meditations taught in the four-week training class into practice.
The schedule will be set up to accommodate those who want an opportunity to extend their foundational meditation practice skills and includes interval meditations within longer periods. Additionally, there will be some instructional/guided meditations and Q&A times to clarify or refresh your understanding of practice points.
While geared towards graduates of Meditation Training in Four Short Weeks, all who have a meditation practice are welcome.
If you’ve taken MT 1.0, this is a GREAT option for those who want to prepare for Meditation Training 2.0 or revitalize their meditation practice.
Logistics of the day:
Meditation Props: We have zabutons, zafu cushions, sitting benches, and chairs. The chair seats are not well padded, so you may want to bring some cushioning if you need it, as well as for knee support. Please let us know in the registration form if you need any supplies.
Lunch: Please bring a bag lunch and beverages with you. The lunch period is a short 40 minutes, so leaving to get lunch somewhere in the area is not recommended. There is a microwave, toaster, pitcher-style filter for water, and limited teas are provided (no coffee available).
1252 Valencia Street, Suite A, San Francisco, CA 94612. (about 2 blocks from the 24th Street Bart Station). Since we are trying out in-person again on a trial basis, unfortunately, our space is not wheelchair accessible at this time. We apologize for this lack of access.
