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.
For those who have attended a beginner’s night, an introductory seminar or have otherwise recently started practice with us, you are invited to the upstairs library for informal conversation with your fellow newcomers over tea and cookies. We meet on the second Sunday of each month right after sitting, from 9:30 to 10:00. Our office manager and resident, Judy Johansen, hosts the group and be available to answer any questions you have about how things work here at the Zen center.
