Our Practice:
Zazen: seated meditation involves working with the
body, breath,
and mind: entering into deep silence and stillness, opening to a fresh
awareness. It opens the eye to wisdom and the heart to compassion. Our practice emphasizes the practice of zazen,
recognizing it as a
way for people to deepen their insight of their true self... To
Awaken!

are fortunate to have Sensei Michael Koryu Holleran visit with us.
