Quiet the Mind & Open the Heart: An Intro to Zen Buddhist Meditation

Find spaciousness and stillness through meditation. Join Linda Shinji Hoffman for an introduction to Zen Meditation. We will meet in the studio and begin with ‘finding our seat’ whether on a cushion, meditation bench or chair. Then learn about posture, breath, how to hold our awareness, and what to do as thoughts arise. After this introduction, there will be a guided meditation that will move participants into silence followed by an opportunity for questions.

There is no charge for this offering, but there is a donation basket at the door. We encourage participants to help support our practice here at Old Frog Pond Farm.

Looking forward to finding stillness with you! 

Linda Hoffman is a practicing Zen Buddhist and a Senior student at Zen Mountain Monastery in Mt. Tremper, New York where she has been training since 2004. Her Dharma name, Shinji, means ‘Truth in the Soil’.
