Detroit Zen Center, nestled in Hamtramck, MI, is a vibrant community dedicated to the practice of Zen Buddhism. The center offers Sunday introductory workshops, retreats, and special events that are open to the public, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the teachings of Zen.
Monks reside at the center during the Summer and Winter months, guiding participants through 60-day retreat seasons and a diverse schedule of practice and community activities. Additionally, in the Spring and Autumn, Dharma Teachers and students lead meditations on Sundays and Wednesdays, fostering a space for spiritual growth and reflection.
Committed to sustainability, the community at Detroit Zen Center actively maintains green roofs, bioretention gardens, and ecological practices throughout the site. For those seeking a deeper connection to Zen living, residency options are available, while the Retreat Center at Cloud Mountain Hermitage in the Upper Peninsula provides a tranquil setting for members and monks during the Spring and Fall seasons.
