A Living Zen Lineage
This is how the practice was handed down to me; I was trained in the Soto Zen tradition within the Katagiri lineage. These photographs are offered in gratitude to Katagiri Roshi, my great grandfather teacher and to all my teachers and mentors who have offered guidance. What I want for everyone who finds their way to Zen Center, is to explore meditation and feel at ease to ask questions.
Zazen is alive, indescribable, and beyond description. You can't learn meditation, you have to experience it. Maybe it will touch your heart and ignite curiosity. All of this is an invitation to open your heart. Everyone is welcome. Come with a willingness to explore. It will be lovely having you join us.
What Our Meditation Is Like
Tuesday -Saturday mornings, we sit two 40 minute periods of meditation with 10 minutes of walking meditation in between. Everything is provided-cushions, benches, chairs. Saturday mornings may include a short talk or an Alexander Technique lesson that incorporates lying down work and movement. We end with conversation, and a few announcements. Everyone is welcome to stay to close the zendo.
