This introductory workshop is an opportunity to learn more about the principles and practice of Zen. 

We encourage anyone who has not done an orientation at the Center to attend. Even if you have been sitting with us for a while, it can be helpful to review and perhaps learn something new. 

We will go over the philosophy, practice, and forms of Zen. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, as well as  meet some of the members and staff. Light refreshments will be offered. 

Cost is $30
