Introduction to Zen Meditation +
Details
The meaning of the word zen is meditation, zazen means sitting meditation. This sitting meditation is the focus of our practice. Language limits our ability to communicate the true nature of zen; it is something that is better understood
through experience. We are open to everyone interested in learning about zen.
An introductory workshop for newcomers is available at 5.30pm each Sunday. You will learn about how to practice meditation, including instruction on the posture and attitude of mind, and also the value of practicing with others. After the introduction, you will join the group for a 30 minute Sunday evening silent meditation. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and meet others.
We have zafus and zabutons (mats and cushions) for all to sit on. Chairs are available too.
Comfortable clothing for sitting, black or neutral tones best.
We greatly appreciate a donation of €5 to cover costs if it's possible for you.
Please arrive at 5:30pm if you're doing the intro. workshop. If you have been here before and you are coming for Sunday evening meditation, please arrive by 6:05pm.
You are very welcome to our dojo!
