    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.

    Somatic Movement & Dance w/ Whitney Dawn Pyles

    https://www.whitneydawn.com/workshops

    1st & 3rd Wednesdays

    Childcare Available

    Offered sliding scale, by Whitney Dawn Pyles! Please register if able, suggested donation $15–$40 per class. Join us for an evening of somatic exploration to cultivate a kinder relationship with the body, nervous system, and self. Mindful Movement supports presence, engages curiosity, invites expression, and encourages connection. In a world that often pulls us away from ourselves and one another, this is a chance to pause, move, and remember that healing, play, and community are all still available to us.

    This is an 18+, beginner-friendly space for nervous system support, creative exploration, and meaningful connection. After the session, we’ll hold informal space to gather—feel free to bring a non-alcoholic drink or snack for yourself or to share. Option to request childcare available.
