About Harmony Zen

Like the blending of musical notes into a harmonious melody, we come together—each with our own unique experiences and backgrounds—in a shared aspiration for awakening. Through meditation, Zen study, and practices that support the well-being of body and mind, we create space to connect, learn, and flourish together as a community. 

​

We started as a small Zen study group led by Dr. Lucy Xiao in 2018 and have continued to evolve over time. We are based in San Francisco and also connect regularly online.

​

Over the past several years, members of our community have participated in the work-study retreats (Sangha Week) at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center. The following images offer a glimpse into some of the delightful moments we've shared during these retreats.
