We are an open, welcoming and diverse community. It is not 
necessary to be a member to participate in our practice, workshops, 
events and retreats. For newcomers, we suggest attending our 
Introduction to Zen workshop with one of our teachers where you will get direct instruction in the body, breath and mind of Zen Meditation and an overview of the path and practices. 

For graduates of the Introduction and other newer practitioners, we 
offer a Beginner’s Group that offers shorter meditation periods and 
discussion each Monday evening from 7pm to 8pm.  Donation for the 
beginner’s group is $10 for non-members. If after practicing with us 
for a while, you find our teachers, practice and community to your 
liking, you can apply for membership through the office.
