Programs and Events
IN-PERSON EVENTS
Our teachers give regular talks at Two Arrows Zen and host events in person. These shorter experiences can give you a taste of Zen, of the style of our teachers, and the people who make up our practice community.
ONLINE PROGRAMS
Our center offers online courses of Zen study and practice throughout the year. There is also a curriculum of training in personal development and interpersonal skills based on the insights of Zen.
RESIDENTIAL RETREATS
For those looking to deepen their sitting practice, Two Arrows Zen offers one-day sitting experiences or multi-day sesshins. We also offer retreats that combine meditation with other skill sets.
Zen practice allows us to realize our true nature and to manifest this awareness in our everyday life. Two Arrows Zen offers a series of classes to help you develop self awareness, interpersonal skills, and life purpose. We invite you to explore these programs on the Real LIFE Programs website.
