Joyful Mind
Zen Community

Joyful Mind Zen Community supports the practice of Zen for all people. We offer weekly meditation practice periods in Rockville Maryland, and regular opportunities for residential and non-residential retreats and study. We are friends on the path of joy and compassion.

We welcome all who are drawn to a simple meditation practice regardless of experience, religious faith or affiliation. Our Zen practice draws on centuries of ancient traditions, that of sitting in silence (Zazen), breathing, and walking meditation (Kinhin) that helps transform and heal.

We welcome newcomers and visitors to practice with us. We meet for Zazen meditation in the Rockville United Church in Twinbrook, MD.
