Open Mind Zen Center does not encourage drop-in attendance except on Sunday.
Please call or email for an orientation appointment prior to attending our Center for 
the first time, or plan to attend a Sunday meditation and talk, which is open to the public.

Sessions consist of two 30 minute periods of sitting meditation
with walking meditation in between. On Sunday there is a 30 minute
meditation at 9:15 for students and members only and then a 10 am session 
open to the public followed by a Dharma Talk by Sensei Al Rapaport.

 

Meditation is the heart of OMZ. Transformation happens easily when we see that we 
are the Buddha, the "awakened one." All you need to meditate is the desire to 
awaken, which we all share. You can sit either on a meditation cushion (zafu) or a 
chair. Be sure to wear comfortable clothing so as not to impair circulation.
If you need beginning instruction, contact us for individualized help.
