​​​​​​​​​Activities


The aim of Louisville Zen Center is to help people from all walks of life start and deepen Zen meditation practice, cultivate mindfulness, and develop a zazen temper of mind to meet daily life with greater clarity, equanimity, and responsiveness. 


To this end, we offer in-person and online meditation instruction, sittings, retreats, volunteer opportunities, and other activities.


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.
