Participants will be guided through two rounds of 25-minute sits, with a 5-minute walking meditation in between. You’re welcome to attend both sits, or just one if you’re new to silent sitting.

Zazen, derived from the Japanese term meaning ‘sitting meditation’, is a cornerstone practice in Zen Buddhism. At its essence, Zazen is the act of simply sitting, yet it encompasses much more than mere physical stillness. Practitioners engage in Zazen with a deliberate posture and mental focus unique to Zen meditation, emphasizing mindfulness and awareness of breath. Through dedicated practice, Zazen cultivates clarity, presence, and insight, serving as a pathway to deepening one’s understanding of the self and the nature of reality.
