Trinity Zen

The Trinity Zen Group, founded in 1997, is a weekly Zen Buddhist sitting group co-sponsored by the New Haven Zen Center and the Trinity College Chapel. People of all faiths - and no faith - are invited to learn and practice a centuries-old form of meditation that is both simple and profound. The group meets at 7 p.m. each Thursday evening during the academic year and through the summer - except during weeks of major holidays. Newcomers should arrive at 6:30 for instruction and orientation and should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. Thursday night practice consists of five minutes of group chanting, a half-hour of Zen sitting meditation, a short reading and refreshments. In addition to weekly practice the group also sponsors a one-day retreat in the chapel each semester and occasional special events. Regular participants include both members of the Trinity College community and residents of central Connecticut. All are welcome and there is no fee.
