Logan Square Zendo, a Soto Zen Buddhist meditation group in Chicago offering weekly practice.

The Logan Square Zendo is a small Soto Zen Buddhist practice group located on the northwest side of Chicago, welcoming people of all backgrounds regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, or physical ability. Affiliated with the Great Plains Zen Center, the group is led by teacher Susan Myoyu Andersen and offers a weekly schedule of zazen (sitting meditation), group study, discussion, and instruction for beginners. While no commitment is required and no payment is needed to practice, participants are encouraged to arrive early for their first visit to receive orientation. The group currently offers in-person sitting on Tuesday evenings, though due to COVID-19, they are not holding in-person sessions at this time and direct interested individuals to the Great Plains Zen Center for online offerings. The Zendo is situated in west Logan Square near the Blue Line and several bus lines, and while they provide a list of recommended reading materials, specific addresses and directions should be confirmed via email or phone before attending. The community emphasizes harmony and inclusivity, welcoming both those new to Buddhism and experienced meditators from any tradition to practice together.
