Stillpoint Zen Community - Santa Cruz, California

A Place to Stop A Place to Be Stillpoint is located in the Santa Cruz mountains of California above Monterey Bay. It is a Zen community that has formed around the Enlighten Master Umi, around whom has flowered the rhythm and practices toward Awakening. Umi invites all to participate in this banquet of life. Umi invites all to awaken to their Buddha nature. Stillpoint is a place of creativity, of delight, where you can cease the habitual worries and move into your true delight of who you really are. It is a place to settle into your inner bliss. At Stillpoint, there is an experience of peace. It envelopes you when you are walking the grounds or wandering through the gardens. The colors and fragrance of the flowers, the sounds of the birds, the silence in the air - all bring you fully to This. Umi holds public gatherings, called Satsangs, on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings (click on Satsang for times). Satsangs with Umi are also available on CD (click on Satsang CD's). Umi is available to all who are open to waking up to their true nature. Everyone at Stillpoint is also available to support this.
