With the kind support of Randall Day of Saint Mark's-in the-Valley Church, and the Santa Barbara Zen Center Board of Directors, a weekly Zen sitting group now meets weekly in Los Olivos. Reservations are required due to very limited seating via our Meetup.com group SBZC@SYV.

For more information about these gatherings and other upcoming events and topics, we encourage you to subscribe to our weekly email newsletter below.

We look forward to sitting with you soon.

SBZC @ SYV was the recipient of a large bell, generously donated by Gerow Reese and our friends at Jikoji Zen Center and kindly delivered by Michael Shoho Newhall. We are so grateful for this musical gift, and very thankful also to SBZC for letting us borrow their temple bell temporarily. Pictured here are members of our SBZC @ SYV sangha smiling with deep gratitude.

If you have not done so already, please email the following to santabarbarazencenter@gmail.com for us to keep on file, or be prepared to present upon arrival:

• Proof of full vaccination, including booster (or)

• Negative Covid test results taken with 24 hours prior to our sit.
