Newcomer Orienation and Meditation Instruction

We offer orientation and meditation instruction on the first Wednesday and third Sunday of each month–unless otherwise noted. See dates below. Even if you are an experienced meditator, this is an excellent opportunity to be introduced to our etiquette, style of practice, and community. The orientation will include a discussion on how to find a sustainable meditation posture, awareness of breath, working with distracting thoughts, and other Zen practices.

The upcoming orientations are:

Wednesday evening, June 4, 6:45 pm – 8:15 pm

Sunday, June 15, 8:45 am – 10:15 am

Wednesday, July 2, 6:45 pm – 8:15 pm

Sunday, July 20, 8:45 am – 10:15 am

Please sign up with Eden >>.
