“Meditating Demon” by Jan Zaremba

Evening practice periods include Zen liturgy, 25-minute periods of zazen, and brief periods of walking meditation, and may also include a Dharma talk, a discussion, or dokusan (individual meetings with a teacher).

You are invited to attend all or any portion of the activities–whatever works for your schedule and inclination. Newcomers are encouraged to arrange an orientation in advance of your first visit, using the emails below. For all sittings, you are free to leave at any time though leaving between meditation periods is best.
