After outgrowing our small zendo in the Sangha House, GPZC repurposed a large work building to serve as as our Zendo.

Important to our vision is a respectful relationship with our land, including restoration of habitat for animals, insects and native plants in our Wisdom Heart and Endless Vow Prairies.
