Welcome

The Red Cedar Zen Community invites you to join us in the practice of Zen meditation. By settling the heart and mind in this very moment, we can bring a little more peace and openness to our lives and our world. 

We follow the traditional forms of the Soto school of Zen with a spirit of warmth and inclusion. Everyone interested in meditation, whether brand new, experienced in other traditions, or schooled in formal Zen, is welcome to join our practice. Please see our Getting Started page.

Where We Gather (our zendos)

We currently gather at both a physical zendo at Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship and in a virtual zendo on Zoom. Information on how to join us at either zendo can be found on our Zendo page. Note that for in person attendance we ask that you follow our current Covid policies. 

When We Gather

At Red Cedar, we have a regular weekly schedule of meetings (meditation practice and service) as well as retreats, classes and other gatherings.

Learning about Zen

We want to make it easy for everyone to learn more about Zen. You can explore Zen Teachings to investigate specific areas or topics in Zen, or look into Zen Training for a more formal approach.
