Intro to Zen Meditation

Experience the ancient Japanese practices of Zazen (silent seated meditation) and Kinhin (walking meditation).

Izzy Esho, from the U.S., is an ordained Zen Buddhist monk (since 1998) and has been joyfully teaching individuals and small groups how to meditate in the Zen style for about 20 years.  She has been living and training these last three years at Zen River Temple, north of Groningen.

Zazen is a Japanese sitting meditation practice that has a 7,000 year history. Instruction begins with simple stretches and guidance on posture and paying attention to the breath. It is a simple, natural way to have a direct experience of your true nature; to experience the wisdom and compassion at the core of who you are. You will also have a chance to experience walking meditation.

Please wear clothes that are comfortable to move in, allow you to sit cross-legged, and be ready to remove your shoes and socks.
