​At Louisville Zen Center, “center” refers not to a place but to the orientation of our Sangha. We are a community grounded in the three pillars of Zen—teaching (Dharma), practice (meditation and mindfulness), and enlightenment (waking up to and living out of one’s true nature). These three pillars form the heart of our lives and our shared path.


To this end, Louisville Zen Center offers in-person and online meditation instruction, sittings, retreats, and volunteer opportunities to support both members and the wider community. 

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit run entirely by volunteers (even our teacher is a volunteer!), and we rely on your generosity. Most activities are offered freely, though we suggest a $5–$10 donation from non-members when participating. All contributions directly support our practice offerings and may be tax-deductible. To make a lasting impact, consider becoming a member.
