Guest Speaker, Sat. 19 May: Rev. Mark Lancaster

Rev. Mark is a long-time practitioner and a Dharma heir of Rev. Dairyu Michael Wenger, in addition to being an old friend of Hartford Street. Please join us for zazen (seated meditation) at 9:25, the talk at 10:15, and tea with discussion afterwards.

Opening for Practice Resident

The Hartford Street Zen Center currently has availability for one practice resident.  We are looking for individuals interested in and committed to experiencing residential practice at a small, urban temple.  Applicants should have prior experience with Soto Zen practice, and prior residential practice experience is not a requirement, but is preferred. While participation and assistance in the daily events of the sangha are expected of any potential practice resident, it is our expectation that most residents are employed outside of the center, and we are accommodating toward one’s professional schedule.
