We meet weekly on Wednesday evenings via Zoom, starting at 7 p.m. The schedule for each evening includes a Zen liturgy, and 25 minute sitting periods with walking meditation in between.

Kate Hartland gives brief private spiritual practice interviews (dokusan) or Dharma talks (teisho) on most Wednesdays.

Newcomers are most welcome to attend this ongoing group. If you are interested in joining us, please contact Kate or use our contact page.
