    Zen Meditation

    The regularly scheduled sittings on Saturday mornings at 8:30 and Tuesday evenings at 7:00 are jointly sponsored by First Unitarian Universalist Church and Zen Columbus Sangha. These events are freely given and open to all. 

    The Saturday and Tuesday sits are both in-person and online. We usually meet in Beach Fellowship Hall (look for the shoes left outside the room). There is a map of the building on the kiosk near the main entrance. Feel free to ask anyone for directions in the building.

    Each sit consists of two 25 minute periods of sitting meditation (zazen) with a 5 minute period of walking meditation between them. We close with a short chanting ceremony. Cushions and mats (or chairs) are provided. Latecomers can quietly enter the meditation hall during the walking meditation period.
