The zhian'tara was a Trill ceremony in which the present host can meet with past hosts. The personalities of past hosts are placed in the bodies of the current host's closest friends. (DS9 episode: "Facets")
In the year 2376, during the USS Defiant's voyage in the Gamma Quadrant, Ezri Dax thought about returning to Trill when the mission was over to undergo the zhian'tara. (DS9 - Mission Gamma novel: This Gray Spirit)
Jarem Kaz had not undertaken the zhian'tara as of 2378. Kaz did not think he knew eleven people well enough to ask them to participate. (VOY novel: Old Wounds)
