What we’re about
Curious about Zen but not sure where to start?
Join us for a special beginner-friendly evening at the historic Kannon-Do Zen temple in Mountain View—a peaceful space that once welcomed some of Silicon Valley’s most iconic minds.
We’ll explore how ancient Buddhist wisdom can help us navigate modern life—from too many browser tabs to existential crashes—with a bit more clarity, calm, and curiosity.
The evening includes:
- A gentle introduction to Zen meditation (no experience needed)
- A casual group discussion to uncover the basics of Zen and Buddhist thought—through common myths, honest questions, and a few laughs
- A relaxed social tea & snack time afterward to meet fellow curious minds, hang out, and connect in a warm, welcoming space
Whether you're looking to clear mental clutter, shift old habits, or simply explore what Zen has to say about being human—you’re welcome here.
