I will add that I call this a “Zen” center since that’s where I started my own journey: at the Rochester Zen Center, under Philip Kapleau, in 1969 (I am 66 as I write in 2014). But you could call it Zen without the Buddhism, and without a lot of the other extras seen at spiritual centers of all types, but it truly relates to any path of what I call genuine spirituality. See more further down as to what the center offers.
For an understanding of the experiences that led me to meditation, see Notes to Myself While Sitting at our sister site meaningofwilderness.com in November 1968 when I had the experience of of eternity, "God," Reality, listening to the last three Beethoven sonatas --under the influence of LSD and wine.
