Hartford Street Zen Center | Issan-ji temple
A Sōtō Zen temple for the LGBTQ+ community, friends and allies in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood

Warm up to the New Year by chillin’ with us! Here’s the schedule:
7:00 pm Dai-Soji (temple cleaning)
7:30 pm Zazen (sitting and walking meditation)
9:00 pm New Year’s Toast
Afterwards, you can go out and paint the town, if so inclined, but you’ll go with a peaceful heart. What could be better? Everyone is welcome.
Holiday Closures
December 2017: 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th
We’ll take a break from our stalwart zendo practice on the days noted above, so stay home by the fire and do some cozy sitting there, just for fun. Watch for a notice about our traditional New Year’s Eve event, which will start on December 31 at about 7:30 p.m. NOTE: If you attend one of the other groups that meet here independently of the usual zendo schedule, check with them to find out if they will hold their regular get-togethers. Have happy and safe holidays, everyone!
