OUR ZOOM LINK HAS CHANGED! New Zoom link for our programs.

We are a vibrant Zen Buddhist community, or sangha, integrating the Japanese-based Zen tradition with styles of Zen study and practice more accessible to contemporary American practitioners.
We usually sit at Windhorse Hill Retreat Center, 595B River Road in Deerfield, MA. Right now we sit together via Zoom Monday-Friday mornings and on Tuesday evenings. Saturday morning's schedule takes place both in person at Windhorse Hill and by Zoom. We are carefully monitoring the COVID situation and make changes when we think it's safe. See our Regular Schedule for details.
Head teacher Roshi Eve Myonen Marko and Rev. Sensei Sally Sonen Kealy, as well as senior students, offer dharma talks as well as opportunities for private study. We also offer monthly one-day retreats and longer retreats, called sesshins, three times a year, as well as precepts classes and other trainings (see Special Events.)
Green River Zen Center is part of the Zen Peacemaker family, founded by Roshi Bernie Glassman, and the White Plum lineage, established by Roshi Taizan Maezumi. A stewards council, comprised of sangha members, governs Green River Zen Center (see Shared Stewardship). The council meets quarterly and all members of the sangha are encouraged to attend.
We emphasize gender, age, and cultural diversity and support collective awakening by appreciating the Zen flavor of each and every participant.
We are fully wheelchair accessible.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
