The lunch will be organized as a potluck, meaning that everyone brings something to eat and we will share the food: let Ilmari know what you are bringing, and we will get a roughly complete (vegetarian) meal for all participants. Please let Ilmari know if you have allergies or other dietary restrictions. During the lunch break, coffee & tea will also be available for those who wish.

The zazenkai is free for members, 20/30€ for non-members depending on financial situation.
If you wish you can also make a donation to the teacher.

Zazenkai will be organized if at least two people register.

Zazenkai (座禅会) literally means “gathering together for meditation”. It is a Zen Buddhist practice that is usually less intense and shorter than sesshins. Does it feel like it is time to come and sit down?

Welcome!
