MORE ABOUT US

We are located in Denver, Colorado, U. S. A. We have been continuously sitting together since 2001. We come from all backgrounds, cultures and ideologies and have been drawn together by the Plum Village tradition and the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh. We sit together with the intention of increasing peacefulness and insight in families, our society, and ourselves. We have a wonderfully diverse group of practitioners, some with very little experience, others with many years of sitting.

Eyes of Compassion welcomes everyone regardless of your racial or ethnic heritage, gender identification, or sexual orientation. We expressly support the Call to Love in Action issued by the ARISE Sangha in our Tradition, and the Statement Speaking Out Against Anti-Asian Violence issued by the San Francisco Zen Center.
