Why go to a Center?

What  can the Zen Center offer that is not available online, in apps or in books?  Like learning to swim or play the saxophone, meditation is best learned by personal instruction and practicing with others.

We specialize in meditation.   ZCOC  features dedicated, qualified teachers and a diverse community. We emphasize the application of meditation to daily life (for example, work and relationships) through mindfulness practices.

Our mission:  ZCOC is a community of practitioners actively engaged in Zen awareness practice for the purpose of awakening, healing, and transformation. Zen practice as taught at ZCOC emphasizes seated meditation and its application in our daily lives.
