Name: Kickstart your practice
Start: 2027-01-02T00:00:00.000Z
Location: Sydney, NSW

Question 1

How long is the Kickstart your practice session, and how does it compare with other events on the calendar?

Accepted Answer

It is a short session of roughly 40 minutes, listed for the early morning. That makes it much shorter than the evening meditations, the Zazenkai or the Rohatsu Sesshin, which run for hours. It suits people who want a brief, focused sit rather than a long commitment.

Question 2

Is Kickstart your practice a good way to begin the new year?

Accepted Answer

It is scheduled in early January 2027, so it falls at the start of the year. The organizer's listing gives no further description of the format, so check with the organizers if you want to know exactly what will be covered.

Question 3

Who leads Kickstart your practice?

Accepted Answer

The organizer's listing does not name a teacher or facilitator for this session. Other events on the same calendar credit Peter Bursky, Jane Andino or Maggie Gluek, but that does not confirm who will lead this one. Contact the organizers before booking if the teacher matters to you.

Question 4

Where in Sydney does Kickstart your practice take place?

Accepted Answer

The event is listed in Sydney, NSW, but the page text does not give a street address or room. The calendar also mentions Kodoji for a women's retreat and a samu day, though that is not confirmed as the venue for this session. Confirm the location with the organizers before you travel.

Question 5

Is Kickstart your practice held online or in person?

Accepted Answer

It is listed with a Sydney venue, which suggests an in-person session. The organizer separately labels another event as Online Meditation, and this one is not given that label. If you need an online option, ask the organizers.

Question 6

What other events could I do after Kickstart your practice to keep going?

Accepted Answer

The calendar lists Dharma Cafe on 18 January 2027, a Zazenkai on 21 February 2027 and a Kodoji Samu in April 2027. The Zazenkai is a longer morning of sitting, so it is a natural next step if the short session appeals to you. The calendar also includes regular evening meditations and ceremonies.

Question 7

How do I book a place for Kickstart your practice?

Accepted Answer

The page text does not say whether tickets, registration or a fee are required. Use the booking or enquiry details on the BrightStar event page, or contact the organizers directly, to confirm how to secure a place.
