Weekly Schedule

The regular weekly schedule is available to regular practitioners, those who have attended the current month’s introductory workshop, or those participating in a Zen Mindfulness Month program.

We do not offer “open” or “drop in” sitting periods.

(The Introductory workshop also serves as a welcome and orientation for those who have practiced meditation in other traditions or at other Zen Centers.)
