HOW TO DO ZAZEN
For the time being we have discontinued the oryoki style lunches. But just in case we bring it back here is a video that will show you how it's done:
Directions to the Hill Street Center from Mapquest. Mapquest's map places us across the street from where we actually are. But the map will get you there. It's a small green house. Parking is available on Hill Street across Main Street (towards the ocean, on Hill between Main and Neilson Way) in two metered lots.
