Slow Walk Meditation with Rocky Mountain Zen
Join Kathy Ridenour of Rocky Mountain Zen for a peaceful and grounding meditation experience rooted in the traditions of Zen Buddhism. This session introduces participants to Zazen (seated meditation), Kinhin (walking meditation), and elements of Soto Zen ritual—practices designed to cultivate mindful breathing, gentle inquiry, and awareness of thoughts without attachment.
Participants can expect a quiet, welcoming space that supports a calm, centered presence. This session is accessible to all, regardless of experience level or physical ability, and offers an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and find stillness amidst the busyness of everyday life.
Kathy brings over 20 years of experience in Zen practice, including Dzogchen, Rinzai, and Soto Zen traditions. Her compassionate and approachable teaching style provides clear guidance on posture, breathing, and working with the mind, helping participants develop a sustainable and meaningful meditation practice.
