~ Introduction to Zen Meditation ~
You will leave this workshop knowing the essentials of Zen meditation,
including how to work with body, breath, and mind.
The session will include group and personalized instruction.
We will discuss the major hurdles commonly faced when establishing a meditation practice AND how to overcome them. We will also practice both seated and walking meditation,
and there will be time for questions.
This session is for you if you are new to Zen meditation, if you want a meditation refresher, and/or have meditation experience in another tradition but are curious about Zen.
A variety of support cushions will be available for seated meditation on the floor,
in addition to chairs for those who prefer to use them.
NZC's teachers, Dosho and Tetsugan, are the most experienced meditation teachers in the Omaha area, with 60 years of training and practice between them. Click here for their bios.
