Just Show Up and begin your day with sitting and walking meditation, dharma talks and discussion.

Join InsightLA teacher Ava Louise Stanton and the Zen Sangha practice group online every Friday at 7:30am.

Zen Sangha

Just Show Up Zen Sangha is an online Zen practice group. We are serious about our practice, but in a casual and friendly manner, as reflected in our name, Just Show Up.

As lay practitioners, we use the particulars of our daily lives to inform our practice. In this sense, Just Show Up means to be fully present in showing up for our lives, whatever the circumstances. 

We are a part of the San Francisco Zen Center diaspora.  Ava Louise Stanton is our leader.  She is a Lay Entrusted teacher in the lineage of Suzuki Roshi. 

We are honored to be part of InsightLA, as one of the many practice communities available for people worldwide.  

If you would like to join us, or if you have any questions, please email us at ava@insightla.org or visit JustShowUpZenSangha.com
