Compassionate Ocean Zen Center, located across the street from the Casket Arts building, will participate in Doors Open Minneapolis during Art-a-Whirl Weekend, Friday, May 17–Sunday, May 19.

 

Doors Open Minneapolis is an annual event 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 & 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.
