WHEN WE MEDITATE, WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTUNE TO THE FRESHNESS OF THE MOMENT.
Join Zen teachers from across the United States and Japan for an in-depth exploration of Zen practice and study to inform, inspire and deepen our practice, and contribute to the global healing so needed today.
Through weekly online dharma talks, daily emails, group discussion, and meditation, we will explore how we can open our hearts to a troubled world.
These unique practice period includes:
- Weekly dharma talks, live streamed Sunday Evening at 7:30pm ET and available any time via video recordings.
- Daily email reflections selected from the study text to support our learning.
- Daily opportunities to sit Zazen in our Online Zendo with participants from around the world with two additional dharma talks each week.
- Access to an online forum for discussion and reflection with other Commit to Sit practitioners.
Each Commit to Sit registration supports the important direct care, training and educational work of New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care.
Commit To Sit is offered twice yearly, in January and in June. Please check our calendar for details on the next opportunity for practice.

"I loved this Journey. I learned a lot about myself, and with a busy schedule, a 13 yr. old and 8 yr. old, it was nice to invest in me for 20 minutes in silence focusing on my growth. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity."
Jennifer
"I so enjoyed Commit to Sit. The gentle nudge to remain conscious and present. The kind provocation to explore the connection of my thoughts and actions. I look forward to the next one. Thank you for making this so easy and possible."

This has anchored my daily practice when I have been away from consistent Buddhist meditation community. Along the way, I have shared select quotations with friends and family, which has in turn impacted their practice. I want to offer this testimony so that you know the ripples have spread widely.
