Awakening in the world, together.
A Call to Peacemaking: ZPO Cohort 4 Begins March 2026
The Zen Peacemaker Order Formation is a 16-month training in contemplative study and engaged social action.
Grounded in the Three Tenets of Not-Knowing, Bearing Witness, and Taking Action, it helps practitioners bring their vows to life in the world as it is.
For more than twenty-five years, the Zen Peacemaker Order has offered a home for those called to live their vows in the midst of the world.
Born from the vision of Roshis Bernie Glassman and Jishu Holmes, the Order arose as a sangha without walls — practicing in prisons, on streets, and in places of conflict and renewal.
In March 2026, we open the doors to Cohort 4, a 16-month formation in contemplative study and engaged social action.
Grounded in the Three Tenets of Not-Knowing, Bearing Witness, and Taking Action, this program invites you to explore how Zen practice lives where the world needs it most.
It begins with a question:
“What happens when our meditation cushion extends into our communities?”
