WEZC Term Student Program 2026 - Overview

 If you are looking for a way to intensify your practice and deepen your connection to sangha, you are invited to be part of the Spring Term Student Program. The term is an intensified practice of approximately two months, designed to mirror a traditional period of practice during which monks trained together intensively during the rainy seasons. Committing to a term of practice provides a clear beginning and end to a period during which Zen practice and involvement with Wy'east Zen Center takes a higher priority in your life.
