Meditation has many benefits, including stress reduction, mental resilience, and increased focus. But, for many of us, the question is: “How do I begin?”

Entering the Way | Fundamentals of Zen Practice is a four-week journey designed to ground you in the practices of meditation and mindfulness so you can begin to open to your life and recognize your true potential. It is a total transformation where we come face to face with our true selves.

Now, you can lay the foundation for your practice with curriculum developed by the founder of One River Zen with over fifteen years of meditation and mindfulness practice, taught by instructors with years of meditation experience. The classes are designed in a modern and accessible way to compliment any spiritual path.

Classes are taught online and in-person once a week on Wednesday evenings 7-8.30P CST in Ottawa, IL at One River Zen.

“As you begin to explore your essential nature through meditation and other studies, you start to realize that everything is in your control. Awareness of your thoughts, your emotions, and all your senses help you uncover your essential nature. Something that has always been there, but is continually ignored, due to the competing demands of this world. This self discovery has helped me personally with my marriage, becoming a better father, and my career. One River Zen has helped me recognize my presence in each moment.”
