Dear friends,
Due to the current COVID situation, we have decided to cancel all Zen classes and monthly retreats in our Manchester (UK) center again, as of Tuesday, October 27th, until further notice.
We hope you may have some Zen at home, especially during this difficult time. Enroll in our Online Zen School AND the Beginner’s and Bridging Class to learn the basic Zen concepts and meditation methods. After that, take the Advanced Class to advance your Zen practice, know yourself better, and uncover your self-nature.
Be healthy and stay safe. We look forward to meeting you at our Manchester Center soon.
Sincerely Yours,
None Zen Center
Beginner’s Class, Manchester (6 Mount St, Manchester M2 5NS, United Kingdom).
Beginner’s Zen Class is a 3-session course for newcomers to learn basic Zen ideas and meditation skills. You will learn different meditation techniques in each session of this 3-session course, so try to not miss a single session. As an incentive, we will provide you with a set of meditation gear, including a meditation cushion and backpack. The meditation gear is a gift from the Center. We sincerely hope you can start and continue your Zen practice with this Beginner’s Class. Online registration is required. Please note that we do not accept walk-in students.
Tuition by Donation
We provide tuition-free meditation classes, but we do ask that you consider providing a donation. The None Zen Center is run entirely by donations. It is the loving gifts from our teachers, students, and friends which create a tuition-free learning environment for Zen meditation, and so will your generosity surely pass on the same love to others.
We recommend a £30 donation for this three-session Beginner’s Class, but donations of greater and lesser sums are all appreciated. No one will be turned away for lack of donations.
You may give the gift when you attend the class.
Classes will be held on the following dates:
