Zen in the Grand Valley

There has been a Zen presence in the Grand Junction area for many decades. This particular zen group began sitting together in 2022, and is currently meeting at the home of one of its members. Please contact andy@gjzen.org with any questions, or to organize a time to visit - we would love to have you!

Schedule

The Grand Junction Zen Community meet regularly to practice in the forms we have learned from our teachers. A typical Sunday session includes a variety of modalities:

• zazen, or seated meditation, is the first and most primary practice modality of our group

• kinhin, or walking meditation, is an opportunity to take the peace and insight gleaned from zazen into action

• choka, or chanting, is an opportunity to connect mind and body through sound

Sundays: zazen, 9am-11am; in-person, with optional social time following.

We periodically have zazenkai (all-day sittings), holiday celebrations, and more.
