Saturday Midday Zen: Meditation + Sound Journey (Free Taster)

Free Taster Session

A gentle 45-minute sanctuary to pause, settle, and reset your weekend.

Join Casey for a beginner-friendly introduction to Zen-rooted meditation, followed by a grounding sound journey.

You’re welcome to attend just the meditation, or stay for both parts of the session.

This taster session is designed to help quiet the mind, soften the body, and restore a sense of inner stability — especially in busy or uncertain times.

Babbling Zen sessions are non-therapeutic meditation practices. Participants are responsible for their own wellbeing and may pause or step out at any time.

• a short teisho (a brief talk introducing the methods being used)
• guided Zen meditation (no experience needed)
• a gentle sound journey to refresh and re-centre
• time to settle, restore, and return slowly

We practice with the spirit of:
nowhere to be, nothing to do.

• anyone craving quiet, calm, and reconnection
• anyone curious about Zen but unsure where to start
• anyone feeling worn down and in need of a gentle reset

When: Saturday, 12:30–1:15pm
Where: KyndFolk Community Room, Worcester
Duration: 45 minutes
Capacity: limited to 10 — booking essential

Wear: loose, comfortable clothing; warm socks or slippers
Bring: chairs are provided, but you’re welcome to bring a yoga mat, blanket, or meditation cushion if you wish. Comfort matters — this is not “hardcore” Zen.

This is a free taster session.
If you find the practice valuable, you’re warmly invited to:

• make an optional donation on the day
• buy a coffee or refreshment from the café downstairs
• sign up to the Babbling Zen newsletter for future sessions (https://bzen.kit.com/dd002c8c2d)

Future sessions will be ticketed.

Sound journeying may involve one of the following instruments (generally only one per session):
shamanic drum, ocean drum, chimes, rav vast, or flute.

Please note:
This is not a sound bath. The session is designed to gently awaken attention and support embodied presence.
Babbling Zen is a radically inclusive space where respect and care are the baseline.

Come as you are. Leave more grounded, centred, and resourced.

Info: A few minutes to get comfortable and arrive in the space.

Info: A guided, beginner-friendly Zen practice with brief explanation.

Info: A gentle sound experience using a single instrument, sometimes two.

Info: Time to settle, ground, and close the session.
