Compassionate Ocean Zen Center, located across the street from the Casket Arts building, will hold Open Houses and a Meditation and Dharma Talk service for new people during the Open Casket Weekend, Friday, November 8–Sunday, November 10.

​

Open Casket is an annual event held by the Casket Arts Building and the Northeast Minneapolis Artists Association... produced by the historic preservation nonprofit, Rethos. This event enables the public to explore dozens of buildings that tell our city’s story. We are looking forward to this opportunity to share Compassionate Ocean’s serene and carefully designed space with the greater community.


You are invited to:​

  • Tour the Zen Center

  • Learn about our programs

  • Meet our Guiding Teachers

  • Enjoy refreshments

  • Attend a short introductory presentation at 1:00 P.M. Saturday

  • Attend our Sunday service at 9:00 A.M. Sunday

​

Compassionate Ocean offers opportunities for meditation practice, weekly talks, and classes on Buddhist teachings. Four times a year we offer programs in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). We also conduct meditation retreats and introductory sessions, all in a welcoming place of peace in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis.
