Zen Center of Georgia

The Zen Center of Georgia offers a uniquely powerful program of Zen training that combines Zazen (sitting meditation), with the art of the sword (Hojo) and other arts. We offer Introductory 6-week Zen classes, ongoing Zazen, classes in hara (center) development and periodic intensive weekend training, called Zazenkai.

A unique aspect of our program is the expression and integration of Zen practice into daily life through the arts. Our instructors have been training in a variety of martial arts, fine arts, and healing arts for the betterment of the individual and the community. In Avondale, we are guests of the Aikido Center of Atlanta, which provides a full program in adult and children's Aikido. We also offer Zazen training at an Alpharetta location in North Atlanta. As we grow, we're expanding our work with businesses, schools, and community groups on ways to apply Zen and Aikido principles to personal and professional development.

While many of us practice martial and fine arts, each student will decide which classes and programs suit his/her personality and desired developmental path.

We are a center in the Rinzai school of Zen, under the guidance of Miller Roshi, Bishop of Sokei-zan Daiyuzenji. We are affliated with Zen Training Acadamy International.
