Welcome to Zen West

Zen West provides a welcoming space for Zen practice within a community of dedicated practitioners at all levels of experience. We value an integrated holistic approach to the spiritual life that embraces the relationship between awakening and healing and responds to the profound challenges we face in our world today.  Join us for meditation, retreat, classes and dharma teachings that foster insight into a mind that is at once boundless, responsive and free.

​

 Zen West meets weekly in a residential space in Eugene and at the Empty Field Zendo on Horton Road Organic Farm campus during the growing season. Empty Field  hosts special events and the Twining Vines organic market gardening program integrating ecology and contemplative practice. Zen West is an affiliate of Dharma Rain Zen Center in Portland, OR.
