While Zen practice is intrinsic to our community, it is not a requirement and we welcome all religious and philosophical choices and traditions at Enso Village. Daily sittings, classes, practice groups, lectures and workshops will be available to those who chose to participate. There will be a meditation hall and retired Zen teachers will live in the community. In addition, staff members and interested residents will be trained in the practice of Contemplative Care, a partnership approach that draws on the transformative mutuality of caregiver and care receiver.
