Day of Extended Meditation

Anyone new to meditation, Buddhism and/or Zen, as well as experienced meditators unfamiliar with the Zenspace community, are welcome to attend a 30 minute newcomers' sessions held weekly:

• Monday evenings at 7:00 PM
• Sunday mornings by appointment only at 8:00 AM (email scheduling@zenspace.org to set up a Sunday session).

Following the introductory session, if they like, participants can join us for zazen during the regularly scheduled meditation periods.

Prison Outreach Visitations

We now maintain a regular schedule of meditation at several state prisons within two hours' driving distance from Atlanta. We have found meditating with inmates extremely helpful both to the inmates' practice as well as to our own.

We would welcome others interested in participation in prison outreach. Prerequisites include at least one years' experience in Buddhist meditation practice, and volunteer certification by the prison system. At present we have three active, certified volunteers.

Anyone interested can be put in touch with participants in order to discuss the program. Additionally, those with a serious interest may accompany current participants during visits to the prisons, in order to provide a first hand experience from which to base any further commitment.
