About Harmony Zen

​Much like the enchanting interplay of musical notes forming a harmonious melody, we—each with our own unique experiences—come together with a shared aspiration for awakening. Our community centers around meditation and Zen study, supporting one another and cultivating meaningful friendships along the way.

​

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 annual work-study retreat (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.
