HOW TO MEDITATE

JOIN EON ZEN

Eon Zen Center is a lay practice center offering meditation, dharma talks, retreats, classes, courses and service to others in Boulder, Colorado and beyond.

Zen meditation has been around for millennia, and has profound relevance for today's world. In the 21st century, dedicated lay practitioners find themselves balancing Zen practice with work, family, and community life. Within this fertile ground, supporting strong lay practice entails supporting strong home practice along with practicing together in community.

We invite you to join the Eon Zen Sangha in practice in-person and online.
All are welcome.
