Masks will be optional in the zendo. Proof of vaccination is no longer required. Every individual attending PSZC in-person services assumes the responsibility to protect their own individual health and the health of others.
Due to the fluid and uncertain nature of the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic, these policies may change as the situation warrants.
The Zen Center holds two residential retreats throughout the year and two day-sits and monthly half-day sits. We also have Zen 101 classes a few times a year, and a dharma study series in the Fall.
