A morning of zazen at Matador Beach
ZCLA Beach Retreat
Walking meditation along the shore and seated practice by the sea caves, led by the Zen Center of Los Angeles sangha.
About the retreat
The Zen Center of Los Angeles takes its practice to the coast for a morning: kinhin (walking meditation), along the shore, seated zazen by the caves at Matador Beach, and shared poetry.
It runs 7am to noon, and it is open to everyone. No prior meditation experience is expected, and a $10 donation is suggested rather than required.
ZCLA posts these on its own events calendar and the dates move with the season and the tide, so ask us and we will send you the next one.
