Introduction To Practice November 4th 7:00 - 8:00pm​

Our Introduction to Practice will follow a format similar to our regular Wednesday evening practice, with two shorter rounds of sitting meditation and explanations and guidance along the way. It’s a chance to become familiar with the structure of our practice, ask questions, and feel more comfortable joining the community. Regular attendees are encouraged to join us, too! Returning to the basics can be a valuable way to reconnect with your own practice, and your experience and insights may be just what a newer practitioner needs to feel welcome and supported. Whether you’re brand new to Zen practice or have been sitting for years, we hope you’ll join us!

Our retreats typically occur the second Saturday of each month. We host both meditation retreats and work retreats. Meditation retreats begin at 7:30am and last until about 3:30pm. They consist of sitting, walking, and chanting meditation, a dharma talk, and private interviews with the attending Guiding Teacher. A vegetarian lunch is provided for those in attendance. We ask those attending to donate $25 dollars on the day of the retreat. Working retreats consist of light chores and maintenance projects around the zen center, such as sweeping the meditation room, washing the windows, vacuuming, and so on. No meals are provided on work retreats, but those attending are welcome to bring a bag lunch or light snacks.
