Emerald City Zendo Weekly Meditation

Sit still. Shut up. Wake up.
An invitation to sit.
The room is ready. The cushions are waiting!

The world is screaming through your screen, fracturing your attention and selling you a hundred versions of a tomorrow that never arrives.

Stop eating the menu. Come eat the meal.
We are gathering in the raw unpolished spirit of Zen, grounded in an authentic, direct, down to earth and straightforward approach to meditation that emphasizes direct experience over complex rituals or doctrine.

The night will include sitting, short walking between sitting periods. Followed by a spontaneous and unscripted talk/encounter dialogue-q&a and tea.

If new please arrive a 15 minutes early so we can provide pointers and show you the ropes. To be comfortable sitting it's best to wear loose fitted comfortable clothing. Please turn cell phone No shoes worn inside. Please wear socks.

Leave your books and your phone at the door. If you are looking for quietest escape, go to the graveyard. If you want to wake up in the middle of the fire, step inside.
