Zen Meditation Sessions
Louisville Zen Center offers regular opportunities for zazen, both in person and online, as well as dokusan, one-to-one instruction. Because our teacher also teaches at the Rochester Zen Center, one of the oldest and largest Zen centers in the country, we’re connected to a broad network of practice and support opportunities.
