Our group practice is grounded in a shared understanding of Zen that includes dojo ritual. For this reason, we ask newcomers to attend a free orientation session before meditating with us for the first time.

The orientations include a brief introduction Zen meditation and group ritual, and assistance with sitting posture if needed. All orientations are run by volunteers.

We currently offer orientation at CERES, immediately before group meditation, on:

• the second Saturday of each month, 9am to 10am
• the third Tuesday of the month, 5:30pm to 6:30pm

When Covid restrictions prevent us from meeting at CERES, we meet online instead, using Zoom.

Please contact mzgpractice@gmail.com to book in for orientation – it’s helpful for us to know at least two dates that will suit you.
