Welcome to Melbourne Zen Centre (MZC)! MZC runs regular Zazen (Zen meditation) meetings for people from all walks of life. Whether you are new to Zen practice, or have had some prior experience, please feel free to come and sit. Consistent with Zen, MZC follows a clear and simple form of practice rather than expounding ideas or belief systems. Regardless of what may bring you to Zen, Zazen is itself a practice of letting go.

After discussions with other female artists I’ve decided there is definitely a place and need for this group. Forging a creative career path via artistic avenues is undoubtedly challenging, through history even more so for women. Regardless of talk on equality, a lot of artists still find they are not appreciated, paid enough or given the opportunities they deserve. I personally found that it can be inspiring and refreshing to connect with other intelligent creative women who can relate to your …
