Next Steps Zen Class
Hosted by Austin Zen Center
A 1½ hour class for those who have attended Beginners' Instruction and would like to deepen their understanding of Zendo forms. This class is offered by the Austin Zen Center, a Soto Zen community dedicated to the practice of zazen (seated meditation).
The Next Steps class covers essential elements of Zen practice including proper posture, breathing techniques, walking meditation (kinhin), and the etiquette and rituals observed in the Zendo. Participants will gain confidence in their practice and learn how to participate more fully in the life of the sangha.
The Austin Zen Center welcomes practitioners of all levels and backgrounds. Whether you are new to Zen or returning to deepen your practice, this class provides a supportive environment for growth and understanding.
