Listen. I get it. You want to go here because it's like half the price of anywhere else and you…read moreneed a hydro colon cleanse done. Plus it's an open system and a homey atmosphere and they got an all natural jacuzzi. I'm all about being healthy on a budget and if that's why you're going here, let me help prepare you. 1. It's not super clean. It's a house and when I was there it was just one 77yr old man running it. So think of going to your grandmas house and that's the level of clean. 2. Because it's not clean, you need to bring your own sanitizing wipes, towels, and flip flops that you plan on throwing away after. Oh and never put your cloths on the floor. DO NOT use their towels there was poop stuck on them when I went. You could tell it was put through the wash but regardless still washed poop stuck to it. The part that gets inserted into the colon is brand new out of the package every time. I saw poop on the floor, kind of under the machine so it would be a bit difficult to reach with a mop, but still poop on the floor. So if you wipe down the part you sit on and the other toilet yourself and then use your own towels, & flip flops that you never take off you should be good. 3. DO NOT go here for your first time as he has very little patience and doesn't answer any questions and if anything goes wrong he yells at you like it's your fault instead of kindly helping you with the problem. I read from different reviews that other people work there? When I went it was just him so make sure you ask if you want someone else. 4. I think he might live there? I think your literally walking into this guys house. Because it is a house. So think about going over someone else's grandfathers house and that's what it is. Like it's not just "homey" I'm pretty sure it's his house. For example the vibration plate is in the middle of the living room with a ladder in front so you can hold onto something. The lights& sound meditation is in a different living room so you have people walking by while your eyes are closed. 5. He has no problem touching you or your towel. Granted it was all appropriate touches in appropriate places but there's no warning or request to touch. It was especially jarring when he did it while my eyes were closed on the meditation part. & when he touched my towel while I was on the hydro colon cleanse table. Anyways I hope this review was helpful! If you have this information before you go and you're prepared you can use the extremely cheap hydro colon cleanse.

The Providence Zen Center is an incredible, healing place. I stayed there for a month in 2022 and…read moreit was a transformative experience. Everyone in the community is so incredibly kind. The mission of the Providence Zen Center is just simply to focus on compassion and practice meditation. That's it. And if by being more compassionate, learning to be more in the moment, learning to be focused and in control of our minds can help make the world a better place and help others, then heck yeah I'm going to keep doing that! I truly believe that people should at least visit the Providence Zen Center once, either on Wednesday nights at 5:30pm for dinner and meditation instruction and practice, or come check out the Sunday morning meditation instruction/practice at 9:00am and the Dharma (wisdom) talk led by a Dharma Teacher at 10:45am. The grounds are beautiful (there is a LOT of space to wander), the people are awesome, and they're even working on doing organic farming! I helped take care of plants when I stayed there. They've been selling their homegrown vegetables in farmer's markets after harvesting. The goodness they put into the local and greater community is immeasurable! It's a nonprofit organization too, so if you donate anything, it's tax-deductible. I sincerely hope that the Providence Zen Center can thrive but that can only happen if people continue to visit and join practice! So if you're looking for a place to grow your mindfulness, your compassion, and your meditation practice, look no further, this is the place for you :)

The Sitting Room provides just that. There are sittings at lunch time, conveniently from 12:30-1:00. There are also later afternoon sittings, and some evening sittings. On Thursday evenings, there are Dharma talks, which impart Buddhist teachings. The room is beautifully appointed and very calming. I would recommend the sitting room to any friend or family member looking for support in their meditation practice, or for a meditation community.

The center now seems to promote special groups "sanghas". I began practicing because of the Buddhist view of non self and non identification to self, so it seems to me an antithesis to Buddhism of integration and inclusion. I also feel that communication from the center is aggressive about raising money. Volunteering is only for friends of Narayan, or so it seems because she has the final say in approving or rejecting a volunteer. In full disclosure, I have been practicing since1980 but moved away from the center to explore Tibetan Buddhism. After attending a day retreat in July I tried to reconnect by responding to a request for volunteers. I was turned down by Narayan with no explanation. That being said I am aware that many lost souls can find solace in the appearance of the projected peace at the center.
