Guided Meditation | Return to Awareness | Boston | Somerville

In this guided Zen meditation, Zen Master Sebastian Rizzon leads participants through several practices designed to bring scattered attention back into clear awareness. Using breath, sound, mantra, pure awareness, and koan meditation, this session offers a gentle but focused way to settle the mind, return to the present moment, and experience awareness beyond thought, memory, and distraction.

The session also explores how meditation extends beyond sitting practice into daily life through moving meditation. Participants are invited to bring the same clarity and full attention cultivated in meditation into ordinary activities such as walking, cooking, working, creating, listening, and speaking—so that every action becomes an opportunity to practice Zen.

Following the meditation session, Zen Master Sebastian Rizzon will take questions from the audience. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions to deepen their understanding of meditation, Zen, life, or even the mind itself!

All are welcome to attend, regardless of prior experience or background.
