Dharma Field

Dharma Field is a haven for those seeking to explore the teachings and practice of Zen Buddhism. Our community welcomes individuals from all walks of life to experience the transformative power of mindfulness and meditation. As our founding teacher, Steve Hagen, so eloquently puts it, "Buddhism is about awareness. Not awareness of something in particular, but awareness itself-being awake, alert, in touch with what is actually happening."

Our Services

At Dharma Field, we offer a wide range of services designed to nurture your spiritual growth and well-being. Our daily sitting schedule provides a quiet and settled space for meditation, with morning and evening sessions available throughout the week. We also offer classes, talks, and meditation instruction, all led by experienced teachers and practitioners.

Our classes cover a variety of topics, from introductory courses on Zen Buddhism to more advanced studies on specific texts and commentaries. Our talks, delivered by renowned teachers, offer insightful commentary on the principles of Zen Buddhism and its application to everyday life.

Practice Programs

If you're looking to establish, maintain, or deepen your practice, our Practice Programs are specifically designed with these factors in mind. Our mentorship program, for example, provides a unique opportunity to set up informal meetings with experienced practitioners, offering guidance and support on your spiritual journey.

Special Events

At Dharma Field, we also host special events and workshops, such as our Mindful Yoga Workshop, which explores the connection between yoga and meditation. Our Sunday Talks, featuring prominent teachers, are another highlight of our program.

Community Engagement

We believe that spiritual growth is not a solo endeavor, but rather a communal pursuit. Our community is built on the principles of compassion, mindfulness, and mutual support. We encourage our members to participate in our events, engage in discussions, and share their experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and connection.

Our Mission

At Dharma Field, our mission is to provide a supportive environment where individuals can explore the teachings of Zen Buddhism and cultivate a deeper sense of awareness and compassion. We strive to create a community that embodies the principles of mindfulness, kindness, and wisdom.
