Welcome to Zen & the Arts! We look forward to inviting you into our community! We encourage you to attend our Newcomer’s Orientation, held on the first Sunday of each month at 9:30am. Here are more details about that and our complete schedule. https://zenartsflorida.com/events/ It is also OK to come any other Sunday for your first visit, but you may want to arrive early to get oriented. We encourage you to check out our Zendo Etiquette page, to get a sense of how we move through a typical meeting together. https://zenartsflorida.com/2024/09/17/dharma-discussion-guidelines/ We ask that you wear comfortable clothing for meditation, in dark or muted colors. If you are new to zazen (our seated meditation practice), you may want to read some beginning instructions. This is a wonderful page with clear teachings, offered by Zen Mountain Monastery. https://zmm.org/meditation-instructions/
Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have. We want to support your spiritual practice in any way that we can. You can contact us here: https://zenartsflorida.com/contact/ We look forward to meeting you!
