Click the event for details and registration. Our events begin precisely on time, and doors will be locked five minutes before the event begins in order to foster an environment of supportive silence in the zendo (practice hall). Please plan to arrive at least ten minutes before the stated start time. Parking can be challenging in our neighborhood, so allow extra time for finding a parking space and walking to the center. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes—dark, quiet colors are best. Out of care for those with allergies, please avoid perfume or scented products.
Our daily sittings do not require registration, but do register in advance for special events such as beginners’ nights, introductory seminars, all-day sittings, workshops, and classes.
If you have signed up but need to cancel on short notice, please call the office and leave a message.

Presentation – Intro to River Watch
April 12 @ 10:00 am - 10:30 am
Stay after tea and cookies to learn about ZCD’s new ecosystem stewardship program, River Watch, and how you can be a part of it.
River Watch of Colorado is a statewide volunteer water quality-monitoring program operated in partnership between River Science and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW). River Watch’s volunteer citizen scientists are trained to monitor water quality and other indicators of watershed health and provide high-quality data to educate communities and inform decision-makers about the condition of Colorado’s waters.
ZCD is now a certified member of River Watch and we have adopted the stream that runs through Harvard Gulch park near here as our monitoring site. Once a month we will collect and test water samples from our stream and upload the data to the River Watch database.
Following the presentation, anyone curious is invited to come out to the stream to help us collect samples and then come back to ZCD and do some chemistry!
