About Two Rivers

 About Two Rivers Zen Community 

The Two Rivers Zen Community currently functions as a fully online Soto Zen Buddhist community of practitioners. TRZC serves to make Zen Buddhist practice and study in the Soto Zen Buddhist tradition truly accessible to all individuals sincerely interested in pursuing the path of Zen.

We offer introduction to zazen (Zen meditation), zazenkai (day-long retreats), traditional services; Zen studies classes and special events including retreats, workshops led by the TRZC teaching staff of formally transmitted and authorized teachers as well as ongoing one-on-one private instructions for review and refinement on a regular basis.

The Two Rivers Zen Community meets via Zoom on a regular schedule (Schedule & Links)

Two Rivers Zen Community extends a warm welcome to all newcomers, regardless of whether you are an experienced Zen practitioner or you are new to Zen. We hope that you will find a supportive community at Two Rivers that will strengthen and deepen your practice and awareness.

Guidelines for Newcomers

Please read these simple guidelines before your first visit to Two Rivers.

If you are new to Zen, even if you have done other forms of meditation, you will need to take our short orientation, offered via Zoom by appointment. This orientation is also open to you if you feel a need for a refresher. Orientations are offered only by advanced reservation. This is important so that we can make the necessary arrangements. Reservations can be made by contacting marcia@mailhosts.net.
