Our Lakeview location will be hosting an Introduction to Zen Training Class beginning Sunday, May 13 from 10 - 11am. It will run for 3 consecutive Sundays. We will be covering the fundamentals of sitting meditation practice (posture, breathing, concentration) as well as dynamic breathing and voice techniques. This class is a prerequisite and gateway to further training with the Wisconsin Betsuin/International Zen Dojo of Wisconsin and lineage. Below is a link to the website of the Spring Green, WI Dojo.

If you would like to participate in this class, please arrive at the Japanese Culture Center (1016 W. Belmont, 60657) a few minutes before 10am on May 13. We will be upstairs on the 2nd floor. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes in which you can sit on the floor. You also should bring a bottle of drinking water. Participation in any of our Zen Dojo activities is on a donation basis.
soaringbird studios will curate the second installation at the Center in the Lakeview neighborhood in Chicago. We will start earlier this time, which will make it easier to park and as always, we are easily accessible by public transportation (CTA red/brown line).
