Beautiful space to quiet the mind and meet friendly like-minded people walking the spiritual path. The guiding teacher is warm, gentle, and creatively insightful. A full calendar of sitting periods, book discussions, and retreats provides a good foundation for those seeking.

I didn't know what to expect but wanted to check out Buddhism after watching some Thich Nhat Hanh videos. The AZC had a beginner class which let me dip my toes into Zen practice. Everyone was super friendly and zero pressure. Have been attending for over 6 months now.

I am really enjoying it so far! I consider the Zazen sessions an introvert's dream come true in a world that requires so much talking and performing. An hour of peace and quiet is the best self care ever. I plan on coming as often as I can!
