Annual Meeting

The Annual Membership Meeting has been rescheduled to

Saturday ​July 26, 2025
1:00 PM 
via Zoom
(https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89763551047
meeting ID: 897 6355 1047
Passcode: GBZC)

To continue to develop our “sangha-led sangha,” it is vitally important that members participate in decision-making. The meeting that was scheduled in June could not do business for lack of a quorum.

Anyone can attend the meeting, but only formal members can vote.

  • Not a formal member yet, but interested? See Why Be a Member? and apply to the board, preferably before its next meeting (July 6)! 
  • Not sure if you’re a formal member? Contact info@bostonzen.org.
  • No longer interested in being a member? It would be helpful if you could notify the board at board@bostonzen.org. 

You may view the agenda and proposals that will be voted on at the meeting. Members who are unable to attend are strongly encouraged to fill in and submit this proxy form, allowing someone who will be attending to vote in your stead. (If you don’t know who is attending, you might consider naming a board member such as the Board Clerk.)

We hope to see you there!

Saturday Morning Format Change

As Saturday morning practice is, for the time being, entirely on zoom, we have adopted a modified format.  

Saturday formal practice begins at 9am. It now includes an abbreviated Zen liturgy, one brief period of walking meditation (kinhin), and one 25-minute period of silent sitting (zazen), finishing around 9:45am. You are invited to stay on for an optional 45-minute discussion period, organized around participant’s questions and concerns or around a theme suggested by the day’s Practice Leader.

See this Instructions Document for details and zoom link. 

To arrange an orientation (at 8:25am)  please contact the Practice leaders at saturday@bostonzen.org.)

Suggested donation – GBZC members: Free / non-members: $10 (but don’t let money keep you away).  Virtual Dana Box.
