Compassionate Ocean Zen Center is dedicated to the central practice of awakening. As a Zen practice community and mindfulness resource, the Center’s programs include Buddhist studies classes, secular Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction classes, daily meditation gatherings, weekly Dharma talks and Zen retreats. Guiding teachers Joen O’Neal and Michael O’Neal are ordained priests in the Soto Zen tradition. The Center’s offerings are shaped by that tradition, as well as Joen’s and Michael’s practice with Thich Nhat Hanh and training with John Kabat-Zinn.
