Open Doors Day at Zen Kannon
Next Sunday, May 25, we’re holding an Open Doors Day at the Zen Kannon Meditation Center. We want this to be a special day of welcome, connection, and discovery. It’s undoubtedly a great opportunity to get to know our space, the practice of Zen meditation, and the community that lives it.
Why an Open Doors Day?
Our center is usually a space of silence and contemplation, dedicated to the regular practice of its members and practitioners. However, we firmly believe that the Zen Way is also transmitted by sharing—offering silence and presence to those who feel a call or curiosity.
With this open day, we want to open ourselves to the neighborhood and the city in a warm and accessible way. We want to introduce the practice of Zen meditation to people who haven’t experienced it yet. We invite family, friends, and neighbors to discover our space, which is normally closed to the general public.
We will also celebrate Vesak, the birthday of the Buddha, with a flower offering and a meditation session open to everyone.
Day’s Program
1:00 PM – Welcome and open doors
1:30 PM – Short meditation session open to everyone
2:00 PM – Flower offering to celebrate Vesak
2:30 PM – Shared snack (you’re welcome to bring something!)
5:00 PM – Meditation for Peace on the street (open to all)
We welcome you with open doors
This day is ideal for inviting friends, family, or acquaintances who may have heard of meditation but have never tried it. We will show what a real practice space feels like—far from clichés.
It’s an opportunity to grow our community and welcome new people who may be taking their first steps into the practice of Zazen. We aim to offer a transformative and accessible experience, in a warm and intimate atmosphere.
Come to our Open Doors Day—alone, with friends, or with family. Bring your silence, your curiosity, or simply your wish to share. Together, we’ll celebrate the joy of practice and the spirit of Zen in community.
