Video by Coreixample
This video produced by Coreixample about the Zen Kannon Centre in Barcelona is one of the first fruits of our Centre’s presence in the neighborhood. Special thanks to Maria Palomar for producing the video, to Albert Sagrera for his mediation, and to the entire Coreixample team for their warm welcome. This July, Zen Kannon celebrates three years in the Eixample neighborhood. In July 2022, we moved into this space, which had previously been the film studio Els Films de la Rambla by Ventura Pons, a major cultural reference in the area.
Meditation for the Neighborhood
The daily meditation (zazen) sessions offered by the centre represent a highly specialized service, led by individuals deeply trained in this tradition. If you want to truly learn how to meditate, or if you’re looking to return to a meditation practice you left behind, this is one of the best places in Barcelona to do so.
Free Introductions Every Friday
If you haven’t visited yet, don’t hesitate to come for a free introduction to Zen meditation, held every Friday. You just need to fill out the form on this page: Introduction to Meditation. And if you’ve already attended, share the experience with your friends. There is no doubt: meditation transforms the individual, and the individual transforms society. Meditation is the path to world peace. Share it.
Workshops, Courses, and Weekend Retreats
If you wish to deepen or refine your meditation practice, the centre offers a wide range of training through courses and workshops, all available on our website. Through silence, we connect with ourselves and with others.
