A big number of newcomers to the Zendo, especially young newcomers, first hear about us online—social media, google searches, yelp, etc.— and more and more often, someone’s first impression of the Zendo starts from our online space.
Because of this, as much as we can, it’s important for our online presence to mirror the wonderful Zen community that we have.
I’d like to ask that you support our online outreach in the following ways:
1) RATE US on Yelp, Google Reviews, & Facebook:
Many, many people, when looking for a new restaurant, spa—or in this case, a Zen Center—will Google or Yelp it. And they’ll often choose an organization by the ratings and reviews.
I think we have a lot of opportunity here in presenting a good face for the Zendo, and letting our Yelp/Google pages be a mirror of the beautiful sangha and space that we have.
Please take a moment to rate us on Yelp & Google, and give it your own honest and authentic review.

2) Facebook: https://facebook.com/villagezendo
If you haven’t already, please “like” our Facebook page, and check in periodically to like/share our posts and events. If you’re attending an event, you can go to the event page on our FB page and mark yourself as “attending.” This gives the impression of well-attended workshops, and will make a new person more likely to be adventurous and want to join.
3) Twitter: https://twitter.com/villagezendo
You can follow us on twitter and like/share our tweets. We also post our events and dharma talks on twitter, so it’s a good way to stay up-to-date.
