Step Into Freedom

When you hear music your body just dances and Zen Koan meditation is like that. You can step into freedom in just one step, without working out how to do it. It can be as simple as just turning your head.

Every child has experienced an epiphany when the world came into focus and they felt the beauty of the world in every cell. Such moments of clarity can be plain or make you weep for joy—the important thing is that they open our eyes to what it feels like to be free.

At Pacific Zen Institute we are building a culture that supports and encourages the discovery of this kind of freedom, through meditation, koan study, inquiry, conversation & the arts. We hope this website will help you learn more about what we do and give you ways to go deeper if you feel drawn to.
