The Grand Junction Zen Community meet regularly to practice in the forms we have learned from our teachers. A typical Sunday session includes a variety of modalities:

• zazen, or seated meditation, is the first and most primary practice modality of our group

• kinhin, or walking meditation, is an opportunity to take the peace and insight gleaned from zazen into action

• choka, or chanting, is an opportunity to connect mind and body through sound

We periodically have zazenkai (all-day sittings), holiday celebrations, and more.

There has been a Zen presence in Grand Junction for many decades. This particular group began sitting together in 2022, and is currently meeting at the home of one of its members. Please contact andy@gjzen.org with any questions, or to organize a time to visit - we would love to have you!
