On days with ceremonies there is no regular practice.
If a Saturday or Sunday is a retreat day there is no regular practice that day.

Upcoming Events
Parking at the Zen Center
The Kansas Zen Center is located on the north end of Laura Ave. There are 14 paved parking spaces on the west (Haskell or Almira) side of the building, accessed via the alley between Almira and Laura Avenues, and a handicapped parking space on the Laura Ave side of the building. Except for ceremony days or other special events these tend to be open and the best choice for parking.
Should you need to park on one of the area streets, please be mindful that these are narrow residential streets and some of our neighbors’ driveways are not clearly visible or marked. You may park on the north side of 12th street. There is no parking on 13th street
