Community Practice

Zen meditation is a great adventure in sitting still, in silence and spaciousness, experiencing our deepest nature. Practicing together, we both strengthen and polish each other’s insight and natural expressions of wisdom, compassion, and playfulness. We appreciate our innate unity, and also learn to work skillfully with and even celebrate our differences./

Join for a single session, or register for 10 sessions at $120 for the series.
