Intro to Zen is designed for beginners, whether you have little or a lot of meditation experience.

  • Understand others’ backgrounds and stories, fostering mutual learning through interaction
  • Familiarize yourself with Zen etiquette, including approaches to seating and posture, as well as walking meditation tailored to your physical capabilities
