Sangha Hour, Wednesdays 10:30am – 11:30am
Please join us for Sangha Hour (hosted by Jim S.) weekly each Wednesday between 10:30am – 11:30am in our temple’s living room.
This is an open house format to welcome anyone who has never been to Hartford Street Zen Center, past members, future members and our currently active Sangha members.
Sangha Hour is ideal for questions, exploring Buddhism, connecting, reconnecting, or just an hour of time in a social setting for those who want to enrich their current Sangha life.
Coffee and refreshments will be offered.
*This is a new program we’re trying out and so your thoughts, comments and participation are welcome and encouraged

Full Moon Ceremonies – Every full moon
One of the most ancient traditions in Buddhism, it is a monthly renewal of the bodhisattva precepts in which we confess our delusions, acknowledge our ancient, twisted karma, and pay homage to buddhas and ancestors. Everyone is welcome to attend. The chants are call-and-response; a sample text of the ceremony from SFZC can be seen here. Check the homepage for upcoming dates.
