Open Mind Zen

Specialties

Open Mind Zen is an American Lay Zen practice center. We keep the traditional heart of zen, which is awakening to who we really are, and combine it with Western modalities. Our practice is oriented to those with active lifestyles, relationships and work, and we have convenient meditation times, regular retreats and workshops and a free Sunday meditation and talk at 10 am for those new to meditation practice. Sensei Al Rapaport is an authorized Zen Teacher with over 40 years experience, and he also specializes in Zen Dialogue Counseling and Zen Breathwork.
