Practicing Zen, Nourishing Community

Moon In The Fountains is a growing group of Soto Zen practioners dedicated to the practice of shikantaza - just sitting. Our mission is to educate others about Zen teachings and foster sangha and connection through in-person sitting meditation. We invite you to find peace and clarity in the Waldo neighborhood of Kansas City.
