Newcomers are always welcome at any event of the Southwind Sangha.

Be sure to check out our Resources  and Recommended Reading for Beginners pages. Here you will find information for those who are discovering Buddhism and Zen.

We have an introduction to Zen and Zen meditation the first Wednesday of every month from 7 to 8PM.  From time to time we offer introduction to Zen meditation on Saturday mornings.  Please email us for information or message us on FB.

For those who have been sitting regularly, these instructions in sitting meditation are a beneficial reminder of the basics.
