Regular Schedule

Zafu and zabuton
Our  schedule for Zen services:

Our Sunday morning service is at 9AM and is also available by Zoom.  The Sunday morning service is followed by a Dharma reading and discussion, after which we usually retire to Panera on Rock Road for coffee and conversation.   We also offer a Wedneday evening service  at 7PM also available by Zoom for chanting and meditation.   We encourage everyone who can to attend in person.   Please get on our email list for notice of cancellations and changes (email harold.sanki@gmail.com).

Our Introduction to Zen class is the first Wednesday of every month at 7 PM.  If possible, we encourage you to attend the “intro” class before attending your first service.

A dharma study group meets regularly in-person and by Zoom, usually on Mondays at 7PM.   The study group is usually preceded by 45 minutes of ‘open’ Zen meditation (from 6PM to 6:45 PM).  Please email harold.sanki@gmail.com for more information.

Half-day meditation retreats usually are held on the third Saturday of every month.  

  •  Introduction to Meditation
    This is an excellent orientation for newcomers to meditation. Experienced practitioners are also welcome. Intro classes are the first Wednesday of every month at 7PM.   You may also schedule an Introduction to Zen orientation at 6PM before our regular service — by appointment only (email harold.sanki@gmail.com).  Newcomers: please visit this link.
  • Dharma Study
    We sponsor a Zoom Dharma reading and discussion group that meets one evening a week.  The Silent Thunder Order, of which we are an affiliate, offers a dharma study reading group as well.  Contact us by email for more information.
