Located in a quiet rural setting in inland North San Diego County under historic century-old California Oaks, Hidden Valley Zen Center is a place for inner spiritual quest, using the forms of Rinzai Zen, which emphasize the practice of zazen [meditation], including work with the extended outbreath and koans.
We are a culturally diverse group and welcome sincere Zen practitioners of any ethnic background to our Center.

A wonderful group from the Dharma Bum Temple joined us for the Saturday intro and did an hour of SILENT(!) work practice with us, pulling those nasty thistles in the field. Many thanks to Derwin, and residents Zach and Anton for leading the work period and to all who joined! May all beings be free of suffering and live in harmony and peace!
