MZC provides a place for meditation, study and reflection, leading to inner awakening and mindful, compassionate action through traditional Soto Zen Practice.

Early Morning Zazen

Affirmation of Welcome
Walking the path of liberation, we express our intimate connection with all beings. Welcoming diversity, here at Milwaukee Zen Center the practice of zazen is available to people of every race, nationality, class, gender, sexual orientation, age, and physical ability. May all beings realize their true nature.

We acknowledge that our practice place is situated on Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, and Menominee land, and we value the continued sovereignty of the Anishinaabe, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Oneida, and Mohican nations.
