Beach Plum Zen
Welcome!
Beach Plum Zen offers occasional opportunities to explore how we might develop some ease and freedom in our personal lives, communities, and the world.
We consider Buddhist insights on cultivating awareness, broadening perspectives, and acting with care—and we practice applying these insights in ways that are relevant to daily life.
Beach Plum Zen is led by Gansho Clark Hanjian.
