Clothing & Equipment
Please wear clothes that are comfortable and loose-fitting, especially around the knees and waist. You will be sitting for half-hour periods, so be sure not to wear anything tight or restrictive. Wear socks (no shoes in the meditation area).
Simplicity is preferred. It is recommended that you not wear bright colors or anything with slogans or images.
Shoes are left in the vestibule and may not be worn into the zendo (sitting/walking area). Phones should be left at home or in your vehicle unless medically or otherwise necessary.
AZG has mats and cushions (zafus and zabutons) and seiza benches for you to sit on, but you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer. We also have chairs for those who are unable to sit on the floor.
Protocols
Please see our video resources for short video introductions that will orient you to the basic procedures for meditation sessions.
