Our Tuesday Evening Zen Meditation at the UVic Multifaith Centre is open to all. It’s an opportunity for newcomers to become familiar with the basics of zazen — seated Zen meditation — in a welcoming, unhurried setting. There’s no cost to attend.

If you’d like to go deeper, Eshū’s First Steps in Zen page lays out the ways in — from the free online Orientation to the guided Entering the Gate of Zen cohort — and helps you find the right place to begin.
