Introductory courses

We organize introductory courses to Zen practice six times a year. These are in Finnish language, but we also organize shorter introductions in English or Swedish on demand. Read more about the course content and check the schedule on the Introductory Courses page. The course fee includes a one-month trial membership, during which you are free to participate in all of our center’s activities.
