5-Week Introductory Zen Meditation Course & Beginner's Zen Retreat

Our study of Zen Calligraphy is deeply rooted in Zen Buddhist Meditation practice. Below are two upcoming opportunities to cultivate a deep and illuminating meditation practice at Zen Buddhist Temple. Both courses will be taught by Tana Thomas Vacca, resident Dharma Teacher and Calligraphy teacher at Zen Buddhist Temple. All welcome!

Introductory Meditation Course
5 consecutive Thursday evenings from 6:30-8:30pm beginning January 16th. For those who wish to study meditation and lead a life of simplicity and clarity. It includes practical instruction on meditation postures, mindful breathing, concentration and opening of one's wisdom eye. Please register here.

Beginner's Overnight Zen Retreat
This course offers the same content as the course above, but in an overnight retreat format. Spend a day on the temple schedule, rising for morning meditation and enjoying our vegetarian breakfast. Friday, February 7th at 7 pm to Saturday February 8th at noon. Please register in advance here.

Both courses above cost: $160/$120 temple members, full-time students, or unwaged.
