2025/11/15 Zen Kannon at the Health and Wellness Fair

Health Fair in the Eixample District of Barcelona

This Saturday, November 15, Zen Kannon will take part in the Health and Wellness Fair in Barcelona’s Eixample district.
Location: Intersection of the pedestrian streets Consell de Cent and Girona
Time: from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Throughout the day we will have a Zen Kannon booth open — a peaceful space where you can come and learn about our community and the activities we offer at the Zen Kannon Center of Barcelona: Zen meditation (zazen), courses on Meditation, Zen Mindfulness, Dharma, Buddhism, retreats, and workshops for a more conscious and serene life.
You’ll be able to talk with members of the sangha, get information about the practice, and take part in short meditation exercises.

Health Fair Event: Meditation for Peace

Time: 10:30 a.m.
Place: Intersection of the pedestrian streets Consell de Cent and Girona
Open activity for everyone

At 10:30 in the morning we will hold a Meditation for Peace, open to all who wish to participate.
A simple yet profound practice to begin the day in shared silence — cultivating calm, presence, and compassion. No previous experience is needed — only the wish to sit, breathe, and offer peace to the world.

Come, discover, and meditate with us!
We look forward to seeing you at the Health and Wellness Fair to share a moment of serenity amid the movement of the city.

Meditation for Peace

At this Health Fair, you have the opportunity to pause for a few moments, sit in silence, and breathe with awareness. When the mind calms and the heart opens, inner peace becomes peace in the world.
Each breath is a seed of serenity that we share with all beings. Sit with us and let silence be your gesture for peace.

Meditation in the Street

Meditating in the street, as we will do at the Health Fair, is a deep and surprising experience.
Amid the noise, traffic, and movement of the city, sitting in silence becomes an act of presence and peace. We do not seek to escape the world, but to open ourselves to it as it is. Every sound, every glance, every step of the people passing by becomes part of the meditation.

The ground beneath our body reminds us of the common earth we all share. The wind, the light, the voices remind us that peace is not the absence of noise, but an inner attitude that embraces everything that appears.
When we meditate in the street, our silence communicates. No words are needed — those who pass by can feel that stillness and, for a moment, perhaps recognize themselves in it too.

It is a simple and powerful way to share peace with the world.
Come and try it at the Health Fair.
