Zen Meditation in Columbus Ohio
Meditation is a practice of awakening to the peace, presence, wisdom and love at the core of our being. When we sit in meditation together, we connect to a deeper stillness beyond the limits of our conditioned, reactive minds. Meditation can facilitate insight into the nature of friction within ourselves and in our world, helping us embody a more conscious and compassionate way of living. Anyone is welcome to join our meditation sessions. Feel free to connect via email if you are new or have any questions.
