• Looking for a traditional approach? 

  • Our Tuesday program offers three structured rounds of meditation and the opportunity for dokusan: a private interview with a transmitted Zen sensei.

  • We offer traditional Zazenkais: day-long retreats that integrate extended zazen, chanting, and devotional practices. 

​​

• Interested in a contemporary approach?

  • On Wednesdays, facilitation rotates among sangha members who wish to deepen their leadership skills, creating a fresh and varied experience each week. You might encounter guided meditations, visualizations, or zazen, along with lively Dharma discussions on a wide range of themes.

​​

• Want to explore Zen in action, not just in stillness?

  •  Zen isn’t confined to a cushion or meditation hall; the whole world becomes the zendo.

  • Daily activities like walking, cooking, working, and caring are opportunities for practice.

  • Community service becomes expressions of the Bodhisattva vow: to alleviate suffering wherever it appears and to dissolve the barrier between self and other.​

​​​​​​

• Hoping to connect from wherever you are?

  • We are home to practitioners spanning the U.S. and many parts of the globe.

  • Because many Zen centers are difficult to access (especially for those in rural areas or for anyone facing health, mobility, or transportation challenge) our community offers a welcoming space to practice from home. ​

​​

• Curious about various styles of practice? 

  • We offer instruction in traditional Koan work, Shikantaza, and other breath/sound/visual-anchored practices. ​

​​

• Ready to discover a safe, open, and welcoming community?

  • The path to letting go of the self begins in the body. When we feel safe and fully seen within ourselves, practice arises more smoothly.

  • Our staff members have expertise in inclusive, equity-centered, trauma-informed, and social justice-informed practices.
