- **Event Name**: Zen Sesshin Retreat: Paying Attention - Presented by Youngstown Zen Center
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 07:30 am – Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: In a Zen sesshin (“to settle the mind”), we enter that space, sitting quietly together, allowing silence/stillness to settle into our bones and bodies. It’s simple and often challenging. It can become a sort of adventure in discovering ourselves. It’s also a way of giving our support to the Universe, including all the human activities and difficulties, while accepting the way it gives life to all beings.

Join Roshi Daiken Nelson, a respected Zen Teacher from New York City, together with Rev. Joseph Boyd of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Youngstown (UUYO), for a transformative day-long Meditation retreat. The theme for our Dharma Talk and discussion is "Paying Attention."

Please bring something vegetarian to share for breakfast and/or lunch.

RSVP if you plan to attend for any length of time by emailing: jboyd@uuyo.org

It is possible to come &amp; go as one needs

After lunch, at 1:30, we will have a Jukai/Receiving the Bodhisattva Precepts Ceremony for Jack Auman, UUYO &amp; YZC Member. Open to everyone.

Donations are welcome — all programming and travel expenses for Roshi Daiken are supported by these donations. Thank you for giving generously.
