Welcome to The Zen Center of Denver
Since 1974, the Zen Center of Denver has offered a place to come into deeper contact with who and what we already are through the practice of silent meditation, And then to actively develop our ability to express our innate wisdom and compassion in our daily lives of work and relationships. We do this for the benefit of all beings.
Here at ZCD, you’ll find a supportive community of people dedicated to living with greater awareness, compassion, and clarity. There’s no need to become a member to join us for practice—everyone is welcome to participate, including those who have been practicing in other traditions or practice centers.
What You’ll Find Here
We offer a full range of opportunities to explore Zen practice, including:
- Daily meditation (both in-person and online)
- Group discussions and teachings
- One-on-one guidance with fully transmitted and assistant teachers
- Retreats and extended silent sittings
- Opportunities to serve the community
Just Begin
Whether you’re curious about mindfulness or ready to deepen or embark on a long-term path, there’s a place for you here. Zen isn’t something you need to “know” before you start. Just bring yourself as you are and we’ll meet you there.
We look forward to practicing with you.
