Amazing place with hand made rustic beautiful spaces . Came for a guided zen morning. Shocked to find this is Hamtramck perfect location in a way. Heartfelt teachers and cats joined the tea and Q&A! Expected a commercial vibe but it was not.

Have learned meditation here, have become a daily meditator as a result. Its a very rare place better than any app, definitely not new age, the real deal imo. Feeling of a pioneer spirit, old Zen in a new world. Very well trained and good meditation teacher monk. Kind community.

Welcoming Community. Came to visit from CLE and everyone made me feel comfortable. When I come to Detroit again I will definitely visit.

I stayed at the Detroit Zen Center for six months, and it was a truly special experience. The monks were incredibly kind, and living with the residents created a strong sense of community. I felt completely at home there. It’s a very social environment where people from all walks of life come and stay for a few months, and I was fortunate to meet many wonderful individuals—some of whom have become my closest friends. Myungju and Tsunim were especially welcoming. They supported me during my transition from Syria to the United States, offering not only help in the beginning but continued guidance throughout my stay. Myeongju, in particular, went out of her way to help with many challenges I faced—she even made me soup and food when I was sick. The Detroit Zen Center is filled with meaningful memories, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. I recommend this center to anyone seeking comfort, warmth and a sense of community. Ps: this is clearly not a hotel, so don’t expect it to be.

I had the great pleasure of attending a Sunday meditation and enjoying brunch with friends in the Zen Cafe located in Living Zen Organics on the lower level. A fantastic vibe from this historic place. Very much looking forward to stopping by the Detroit Zen Center again the Zen monks are outstanding people.
