Where we gather

The world is our temple grounds, or at least the lands and waters around this bay and the next. Since we are bringing zen into the everyday life, naturally we find ourselves in motion. Most of the time, we tend to sit in these three locations. Every event on the website will list it’s location and provided a direct link to it. But for a quick reference to where we are most likely to be, click on the links below.
