Zen is strongly associated with group practice. Having the opportunity to be with others on the same path and in a place dedicated to this work is tremendously beneficial.
We meet regularly at Yugagyo Dojo in Camberwell, London – as well as online.

Newcomers introduction and orientation
Sundays 5:15-5:45pm – This is held online and open to all – join us on Zoom using the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89059735225?pwd=b1E0OHVIRFp4R0NZeit4QkdkeGt0dz09
These sessions are run by one of our trainee Zen teachers. You’ll have a chance to say hello, ask questions and understand how our group practice sessions work in terms of chanting, bowing, and how to get individual instruction with the teacher (sanzen). Even if you want to come to the dojo in-person, ideally you would attend this online first.

Directions to our dojo: how to find us
If you can’t attend in-person, join us online
We have a growing community of practitioners based outside of London and joining remotely. We make every effort to make sure what we offer is available equally in-person and online.
A group behaves just like a coal fire. A burning ember that is not fanned goes out all by itself. A big pile of embers becomes a blazing furnace. When there are many of us, each person must take it upon himself to not disturb the others, by virtue of which we obtain a unique atmosphere. It is precisely by this atmosphere that we recognize a dojo of the Buddha Way.Zen Master Sawaki Kodo
