Meditation Style
Meditation is a wonderful way to develop insight, health, and compassion. We practiced seated, silent meditation. Our group practice builds stronger intention and energy for meditation.
Feel free to join us with your own silent meditation practice from any tradition.
If you would like meditation instruction or details on our Zen style, visit one of our orientation sessions (see the Calendar). There are additional details about the physical posture and meditation forms at the Open Sound Zen web site.
In addition to sitting meditation practice, our practices include elements of Zen services, such as the Heart Sutra.
We also offer occasional online retreats, and individual, optional Zen koan practice.
Our Zen Tradition
We are part of the Open Sound Zen Community in Seattle and online.
Our organizer is Chris Chapman, who received Zen teaching authority in 2023 in the Golden Wind Zen Order, a lineage of Zen Master Seung Sahn.
For more on Open Sound Zen — practice forms, teacher, commitment to openness & inclusion, ethical practice, and more — visit the Open Sound Zen Community.
If you are in the Seattle area, check out our in-person practice times with the Magnolia Zen Group [coming Summer 2026].
