Join our Meditation and Talk Sundays, a space to deepen your spiritual journey — where ancient wisdom meets everyday life in community.In our Sunday gatherings, we explore the timeless teachings and practices of classical Buddhism that uniquely blend Thien (Zen) Buddhism, in a style similar to Thich Nhat Hanh, with heartfelt Shin Buddhist teachings. Our Meditation & Talk Sundays include mindfulness practices, quiet sitting meditation, sacred chants, incense offering, Q & A with an ordained teacher, and so much more —all within a nurturing group setting. Open to the general public, beginners, and veteran practitioners alike.
Open to everyone, including first-timers and seasoned practitioners, we warmly welcome you to explore and grow with us.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you give yourself time to arrive in-person before the 9 a.m. meeting.
Our Location: Our location is unequaled in Connecticut, which includes quiet sitting meditation in front of the Shôyôan Teien Zen garden and a traditional Japanese style tatami room.
Parking: Free street parking on Washington Terrace but there is also parking on Mt. Vernon Street which is the side street, next to the center.
Meeting Rules: In order to maintain a harmonious and respectful environment, practice kind speech, be courteous, and abstain from talking about current politics or display or wear political or offensive symbols or imagery. Those unable to follow these rules will be asked to promptly leave.
