3 Saturdays: December 14, 21 & 28; 10 am - noon

Taught by Gaelyn Godwin, a Zen Priest in the Soto Zen tradition, the Abbot of Houston Zen Center, with the assistance of Royce Johnson, a novice Zen priest, this Saturday series provides an introduction to Zen meditation for beginners. It is open to people of all faiths.

The classes include a presentation on basic Zen philosophy and discussions of how to practice Zen in daily life, while walking, working, vacationing, shopping – that is, how to practice mindfully anytime, anywhere.

Each class includes meditation, beginning with 10 minutes during the first class. The class series includes four meditation postures: sitting meditation, standing meditation, walking meditation, and reclining meditation.

Cost: $100 for the series. Payment may be made at the first class. Scholarships are also available. No one is turned away for lack of funds.  Email joy@houstonzen.org to request a scholarship.
