All of our meditations and classes are held at our meditation center
near downtown Chico.
 
Our meditations and classes are open to everyone. Zen teaching has a unique style and environment. If you are new to The Still Point we ask that you schedule a 30 minute appointment with one of our Guides prior to your first visit. The Guide will introduce the central aspects of Western Zen practice, how meditation services are conducted, and the meaning of our simple rituals.
 
Meditation is part of all services offered at The Still Point. This reflects our experience that it is a life-giving element of practice, and forms the basis of all we do. Meditation provides time for the mind to quiet from the conditioned chatter that so often fills our lives. Meditation sets an open inner tone for deeper exploration of our spiritual practice.
