New Year's Eve Sitting


  • Milwaukee Zen Center 2825 N Stowell Ave Milwaukee, WI 53211 USA (map)

Everyone is invited to our traditional New Year’s Sitting with alternate periods of zazen and walking meditation from 8:00 pm until midnight. In this last night of the year, let us reflect on the past 12 months, and consider our intentions for the future.

At around 9:30pm there will be a break for a snack of Japanese noodles.
At 11:45 pm the bell will be struck 108 times by the attendees.

Afterwards everybody is invited to write on a piece of paper what they would like to let go of, and these items will be offered in a fire ceremony at the end.
