Join us for a day and a half zazenkai celebrating Día de los muertos: Feeding the Hungry Ghosts where we will be commemorating the lives of loved ones who have passed on.

Suggested donation of $20, but any amount you are able to give is deeply appreciated. The zazenkai will be hybrid (in-person and online). All are welcome to come and go as needed.   

Please send full names of individuals, including pets, to be memorialized to Rev. Shindo at shindovillanueva@gmail.com.

In the spirit of generosity and feeding others, please consider donating to Roadrunner Food Bank.
