The Northeast Ohio Soto Zen Group practices Buddha's Way in the Soto Zen tradition under the guidance of our teacher, Tenshin Reb Anderson Roshi.

Our group now meets in two locations:

On Wednesday evenings, NEOSZG-West meets sat West Shore Unitarian Universalist Church in Rocky River. Instruction for newcomers at 6:30 pm. Sitting begins at 7:00 pm. Check out our usual sitting schedule. For more details, e-mail Lynne Brakeman, facilitator.

On Saturday mornings, NEOSZG-East meets at Evolution Yoga in Woodmere, Ohio (directions). Instruction for newcomers 9:00 am, sitting begins at 9:10. For more details, e-mail Rannigan Walsh, facilitator.

In June 2004, NEOSZG organized a 5-day sesshin with Tenshin Roshi at the Cuyahoga Valley Retreat Center. In November 2005, the NEOSZG hosted a weekend workshop with Tenshin Roshi here in Cleveland. And he returned to our region for a 5-day meditation intensive (sesshin) in Pittsburgh, PA June 16-21, 2006.

In 2007, Tenshin Roshi taught a three-day retreat in Pittsburgh, Feb. 23, 24 and 25 and a five-day residential retreat in October at the same location, Kearns Spirituality Center in the North Hills. We hope to find a spot in his 2008 schedule for a weekend retreat in Cleveland. In 2009, Tenshin Roshi will return to Pittsburgh for a five-day sesshin, May 15-20, 2009.
