Welcome 

Stone Creek Zen Center is a Buddhist practice center dedicated to the dharma teachings of awakening to reality and living compassionately in this impermanent, interdependent world. The core activity at the center is zazen, or wholehearted sitting here and now. Our sangha community extends their practice throughout each day, living consciously as part of the interconnected web of beings supporting each other’s lives.


Stone Creek Zen Center is at 2999 Bowen Street, Graton, California. The center is wheelchair accessible and has ample parking.Phone: 707.829.1129
