Beginners

We are happy to welcome beginners, but ask that on your first visit you attend one of the Saturday beginners sessions (starting 24 April 2010) to learn about zazen and our particular form before attending our regular weekly evening sittings. Even if you've sat zazen with other groups, it's worthwhile coming to an introduction, as all zen traditions have slightly different ways of doing things.

These 'Zazenkai' are every Saturday bar the first of the month (see Zazenkai section for details) at the Dojo.  Please arrive at The Dojo by 9.15am, where you'll be introduced to one of the more experienced practitioners who will lead the introduction.  If you arrive late we may not be able to fit you in - so please be prompt.

Kesu bellIt is best to wear loose, dark clothing that will be comfortable to sit in and won't be a distraction to others. There is no expectation or pressure that you have to sit cross-legged on the floor if this is not comfortable for you.

The beginners sessions will introduce you to zen meditation and there will be opportunities for you to ask questions.

Where: The Dojo, 13 Hope Street, Liverpool L1 9BH
