NKYZC provides a place and the support of community for those interested in the contemplative practice of Zen. Our intention is that you feel welcomed and that any mystery or discomfort perceived to be part of a meditation practice is set aside.

Participation in the NKYZC  or other Zen centers in the area is left up to you: Membership is not required, though donations are gratefully accepted and appreciated. Participant contributions are the sole means of support for the NKYZC. And in the spirit of one of the first Zen teachers in America, Sokei-an Shigetsu Sasaki, "All who come are welcome and those who leave are not pursued."

For those interested in an introductory workshop, please click the link for upcoming dates and times as there are several throughout the year: .cincinnnatizencenter.org
