Welcome!
Welcome to the online home of the Zen Center of Denver! We are a Buddhist sangha (community) offering authentic Zen practice and training since our founding in 1974. Along with daily zazen (seated meditation), the ZCD offers a full range of opportunities for Zen training, including dokusan (private instruction with a teacher), samu (silent work practice), seva (community work practice), zazenkai (all-day sittings), and sesshin (weekend, five-day or seven-day retreats with a residential option).
Non-members are welcome to join us as guests for in-person events provided a) you are fully vaccinated, and b) you have attended either a beginners’ night or our introductory seminar in to become familiar with the practice and our community. You may also be interested in our Intro to Zen audio series. If you are not vaccinated or simply feel more comfortable participating from home, we invite you to join us via Zoom.
