We are blessed to have certified Zen Teacher Seisen Saunders Roshi, who studied with Maezumi Roshi from Japan for over 20 years and received transmission from Bernie Glassman Roshi, co-founder of Zen Peacemakers. She has created a spiritual community and residential Zen training center only 10 minutes south of downtown San Diego since 2000.

The Sweetwater Zen Center invites you to check out our website at www.swzc.org

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a time to visit please call the manager - Herb Eko Deer at 214-886-1329.

We look forward to meeting you in our Meetup Groups, thank you for considering this as a powerful step in your spiritual path.

The Native American practice of council, or group circle sharing, is a very important part of our growth as an intentional community. We currently hold council every Tuesday evening at 7pm.

We are actively involved in the larger community. Events are open for all people interested in realization. Our members are also engaged in activities such as prison work, inter-faith groups, and peace activism, and youth outreach.
