Rinzai Zen is an intensely yogic path harnessing body, breath, subtle energetics, and mind within a direct approach to awakening. Join us for this comprehensive introduction to the Rinzai Zen way. Instruction will transmit techniques of recognizing intrinsic clarity, formal seated meditation, and internal energetic cultivation. Afterward, you will have the tools you need to begin your own daily practice of Zen.
