Introduction to Zen Buddhism for Youth / Young Adults
In partnership with the Humboldt Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, Arcata Zen Group will be hosting an Introduction to Zen Buddhism course led by current head teacher: Gene Bush.
Arcata Zen Group practices the Soto Zen tradition of Buddhism. They provide a place for sitting meditation, or zazen, and the study of Buddha’s teachings. They emphasize applying our practice to everyday life, with a focus on social and environmental justice. They work to assure that all people who come to practice are seen and heard, respected and included.
