Mission: To reduce the amount of stress, anxiety, and fear experienced in the community by offering zen-related (meditation and mindfulness) activities, while at the same time fostering well-being, compassion, and insight. We are committed to helping develop a more awakened community and world. Please consider donating to help us continue offering these important programs.
Programs: We offer a weekly zen meditation group, yoga, mindfulness courses, and teacher trainings. We also do intensive zen retreats, community service projects, and zen ceremonies. Our lineage is the zenways branch (zendo kyodan) of the rinzai zen tradition of shinzan miyamae roshi. London zenways, led by daizan roshi, is a sister group of ours and has been instrumental in us growing our roots. 2017 activities include: new year fire ceremony: january of 2017 silver falls new year's wellness retreat: february 10-12 zenways yoga teacher training: week 2 february 26-march 5 zen meditation and mindfulness for health and well-being 8-week course: april 11-may 30 spring zen meditation day japan trip: may 20-31 zen precepts ceremony: spring of 2017 summer zen retreat: july 27-august 2 fundraiser yard sale: august 26 and 27 annual potluck: september 9 3-day intensive zen retreat: september 21-24 zen meditation and mindfulness for grounding and insight 8-week course: october 5-november 23 zen meditation day: november 4 rohatsu all-night sitting: december 7 and 8 zenways yoga teacher training: week 1 december 10-17
