MEDITATION FOR EVERYONE
Open Your Heart,
Trust Your True Nature

In these turbulent and confusing times, many yearn for clarity to see a way forward. When your attention is fragmented and busy, it leads to greater anxiety and stress, making it difficult to appreciate the gift of life and your own uncondtional basic goodness. Formerly called the “Foundations of Mindfulness”.

SPRING ZEN MEDITATION RETREAT
Seeds of Renewal Returning to the Source

In times of rapid change and disruption, it’s important to ground ourselves in spiritual practices that allow us to have a larger view of our world. To be resilient in the face of such challenges, our Zen tradition offers significant meditation retreats called sesshins. This Japanese word consists of two characters that mean “to integrate the mind and heart”. Join us for this powerful experience to nurture seeds of renewal and return to the source through intensive Zen meditation practice. The retreat will be lead by our two Zen Teachers who have decades of experience working and leading others in this deep transformational practice.

WRITERS WORKSHOP
Release Your Creativity Energy and Renew Your Writing

Have you been working on a book or writing project for years? Have you used vacation time “to write” only to not write at all? Have you been describing the same book project for years but no further along than you were last year? Have you been thinking about a book or writing project and not started it? Welcome to Our World! We may have a book or writing project inside of us that we want to exist – and yet, it doesn’t make it from head to hand to readers. Why is that? Can we change that?

The course will be limited to 10 people.

Welcome to the Zen Center
