The place
Clear Water Zendo describes itself as a Soto Zen temple in Vallejo. Its site says Mary Mocine stepped down as abbot on 16 December 2024 and a group of senior students is leading the temple through the transition.
It also says the Saturday programme, evening zazen, classes, ceremonies and celebrations have been discontinued at the temple, while the website stays up with access to the online zendo and its podcast archive.
What it offers
- Morning zazen, Monday to Friday, 6:20 to 7:00 am, at the temple and online.
- Informal zazen on Wednesday evenings, 7:00 to 7:30 pm.
- An archive of podcast talks.
Before you go
- Read zazen for beginners.
- See the California directory.
- Because the programme is reduced, confirm what is on at vallejozencenter.org before visiting.
