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. Advance 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 $60 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 funds.

You may give the gift at the Center or donate online.

Classes will be held on the following dates:
Please arrive 5 minutes early to get yourself ready. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at friend@nonezencenter.org.
