If you are unable to get to a place of Zen practice, there are many options online for listening to talks and even sitting with other people and being part of Zen services and Zazenkai.

These are talks and services which I have found useful in my own practice.

Zen Talks and Podcasts

Ancient Dragon Zen Gate  (Taigen Dan Leighton)

Everyday Zen Foundation (Norman Fischer and others.  This has an excellent study guide which collects teachings into subject areas)
