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.
Two rounds of zazen followed by the Ceremony of Aid.The ceremony includes the opportunity for you to make a cash or check donation for an organization helping those in need of aid. This year our donations will go to Casa de Paz (House of Peace). They welcome recently released newcomers, Asylum seekers, and immigrants from ICE detention, and facilitate their next steps toward reunification with loved ones in a dignifying way. Since 2012, they have welcomed over 20,000 guests from 82 countries. You can learn more at https://casadepazcolorado.org
This is an in-person event that will also be streamed on Zoom.
