Zen in Twente

At Zen in Twente, we organize ‘Meditation Monday’ every week. These are gatherings where we sit together in silence, practicing seated meditation (zazen) alternated with short walking meditations (kinhin).

Every two to three months, we organize a morning with a certified Zen teacher from the international Zen River monastery in Uithuizen. This includes guided meditation, a lecture, and a communal lunch. The essence of Buddhism and the practical practice of Zen are discussed. These meetings with a teacher are intended for both novice and more advanced meditation practitioners, as well as anyone interested in gaining inspiration and receiving practical meditation instruction.
