Before You Visit

When to come:

Our practice periods are Tuesday evenings at 7:00 pm via Zoom. If you have never practiced with us before, please email us to let us know that you plan to attend.

If you are new to Zen:

If you are new to Zen and would like an orientation, we offer brief introductions to zazen (the Zen style of meditation), to postures that will help you sit comfortably and in stillness, to meditation hall etiquette, and to Zen liturgy. Please email us to arrange an orientation which will be offered on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 pm prior to the evening services.

If you are experienced in Zen:

If you are comfortable with stillness and are familiar with meditation in the Zen tradition and with Zen liturgy, you are welcome to just show up and dive in. Nonetheless, we do encourage even old hands to come for an orientation, if only to introduce yourself and get acquainted.

Is it free?

All orientations and all regular daily practice sessions are offered free of charge.
