After moving to Austin from Minneapolis, I was in search of a Sangha that made me feel at home just as the Sangha in Minneapolis did. My search was complete with Austin Zen Center. They truly welcome everyone from all walks of life and keep the spirit of the beginner's mind with all beings who enter. There is quite a bit of etiquette to follow (posted on their website), but they never judge if anyone should ever miss a step. They recognize that we're all human, and that we are all amazing just as we are.

One of my home away from homes. This zendo is calm and comforting the moment you walk in. There are many times to sit throughout the week. I always feel welcome anytime I arrive. The people here are friendly and informative. If you’re looking to learn more about Zen I couldn’t think of a better place to do it.

Saturday beginners meditation is very welcoming and friendly. Nice instructions for the Japanese zen tradition they follow.

Great environment and the retreat was decent, but I asked for specific help in an email for something serious that I’ve been dealing with and the email was left unanswered. Before I left the retreat, I had discussed my issue in person and was told to email and I’d be able to get help. I sent the email and never received a response. Save your money and choose a more genuine and authentic experience.

Very nice meditation instruction. I attended the beginners meditation class with my teenager and really enjoyed it. The instructor was patient and informative...made us feel comfortable even though it was our first time meditating.
