Orientation to Zen Practice at EBZ

We offer a once-a-month Orientation session, which includes a basic introduction to Zen meditation and an orientation to the rituals in our EBZ Community. It is a time for questions, and an opportunity to experience your first sit with EBZ.

Who is this Orientation for?

  • Those with little or no experience with meditation or Zen practice but who are interested in Zen Buddhism. Please be aware that the focus of Zen meditation is not for relaxation, stress reduction, nor is it therapeutic in nature.

  • Those who have experience sitting meditation in Zen or other traditions. It will give you insight into how EBZ embodies the Zen spirit in our sitting and in our own particular rituals.
