Welcome to EMPTY CLOUD ZEN.
Empty Cloud Zen is a sangha based in California, in the lineage of Fr. Willigis Jäger, OSB, and our guiding teacher, Fr. Greg Mayers, C.Ss.R Roshi. Authorized teachers are The Rev. Alice Cabotaje Roshi, Nona Strong Roshi, and Tony Tackitt Roshi.
Beginning in 2026, we are affiliated with Mercy Center in Auburn, California. Each year, Mercy Center Auburn hosts in-person retreats led by Empty Cloud teachers. You can check the retreat calendar on their website, www.mercycenter.org, to find retreat dates and other information about scheduled events. Look for “East-West” in the retreat title.
