Introduction to Zen

We suggest that if you have no experience with meditation or practice in the Zen tradition you register for Introduction to Zen Practice. We offer Introduction to Zen Practice on the first Tuesday of each month. There is a $10 contribution requested and pre-registration is required a week in advance. On the evening of Introduction to Zen Practice, please arrive by 6:15pm. At 7:00pm we will join the community for the remainder of the meditation session, which includes sitting meditation, a dharma talk and walking meditation concluding at 8:10pm.

We welcome those of all faiths and traditions who wish to practice Zen, but it is not necessarily for everyone, so please look over our website, especially the sections on zazen and services to have a better idea of what our practice is about before registering.

TO REGISTER: Please email Sensei Michele Daniels

WHEN YOU ARRIVE
Facing the Church property, the Church will be on your right; the Parish House will be on your left - with a driveway between the two. Walking half way down the driveway, on your left you will see a door to the Parish House. Go up the small stairway to the large wooden door. To the right of the door you will see a metal panel with three buttons. Push the Upper Meeting Room button and wait. Respond with the word "Zendo" and you will be buzzed in. Walking straight through the first floor hallway, you will come to a stairwell. The zendo is at the top of the stairs.
