Zen Center Of Orange County

Our Mission

The Zen Center of Orange County (ZCOC) is a vibrant community dedicated to the practice and exploration of Zen Buddhism. Founded in 1995, we provide a welcoming space for individuals to cultivate mindfulness, reduce stress, and awaken to their full potential.

Why Practice Zen?

Meditation has been scientifically proven to improve concentration, reduce stress, and increase mindfulness in daily life. It offers practical tools for managing anxiety, anger, and depression, while fostering a sense of calm and inner peace.

What We Offer

At ZCOC, we offer various meditation programs and workshops for all levels, including:

• Introductory Sessions and Workshops: Explore the basics of Zen meditation and learn practical techniques to begin your practice.
• Ongoing Meditation Groups: Join a supportive community of practitioners and deepen your practice with regular sessions.
• Weekend Retreats: Immerse yourself in the practice for a deeper experience of transformation and awakening.

Learning to Meditate

Unlike learning a new skill like swimming or playing music, meditation is best learned with personalized guidance and interaction. Our experienced teachers offer:

• Individual Instruction: Receive tailored guidance from compassionate and qualified instructors.
• Group Sessions: Learn and practice in a supportive environment alongside others.
• Specialized Programs: Explore further through dedicated programs on topics like mindfulness in relationships, anger management, and tea ceremony.
