Attendance on regular scheduled sittings is possible both face to face at the Zen Centre, and online via Zoom. Please get in touch prior to coming to the Zen Centre, especially if it’s your first time, and we’ll be able to give you more information on how to participate.

Regular sittings consist of zazen and kinhin (walking meditation). There is also often a short talk by the teacher and regular dokusan (an opportunity to discuss practice-related questions one to one with a teacher).

In addition to the weekly schedule, we run regular Introductory workshops, which usually run on Saturday mornings, check the Intro to Zen page for more information.

We also regularly run longer events designed to give people an opportunity to get deeper into Zen practice. These include whole day or weekend events at the Zen Centre as well as sesshin (intensive meditation retreats) which are held over three to four days at the Zen Centre and also residentially over the course of a week.
