No Talk — Just Walk
CityZen is a meditation and koan practice group in the Pacific Zen school led by Rachel Mansfield-Howlett Roshi. We hold weekly meditation evenings as well as silent walks in nature, half-day meditation events, 7-day silent sesshin, and private meetings with a teacher. We include all ages, abilities, faiths, genders, and ethnicities. Contact rhowlettlaw@gmail.com for meeting locations, zoom link, or to be added to the CityZen list group. — Our 2026, 7-day silent sesshin is March 13-20 —
