Brisbane based Sun Mountain Zen offers weekly meditation practice in East Brisbane and Kenilworth on the Sunshine Coast. We also provide comprehensive introductory lectures for beginners and monthly meditation retreats.
Sun Mountain Zen is an intentional Community of Zen practitioners guided by authorised teachers Mervyn Lander Goun-Ken, Cecilie Lander Goen-An, Sue Wolter, Richard Herps & Richard Warner.
Our practice combines elements of both Rinzai and Soto Zen traditions and as such includes Zazen and Koan Practice.
Sun Mountain Zen is a not for profit organisation whose aim is to provide authentic Zen training to all who are interested.
Zen meditation is a non-religious contemplative practice and everyone is welcome irrespective of whether they have a specific religious affiliation or none.
