Rev. Parāvṛtti Doralee Grindler Katonah serves as Ino, or head of the meditation hall.  She studied in the Soto Zen lineage with Sojun Diane Martin, founder, and guiding teacher of Udumbara Zen Center in Illionois and with Rev. Val Szymaskik Head Priest of Bamboo in the Wind Zen Center in Sunnyvale, California.  She was priest ordained in 2019.

Our Monday night programs begin with zazen (sitting meditation) followed by a devotional service and dharma talk, group discussion, or practice circle. There are no membership requirements to participate. We invite donations to support the room rental, visits by teachers, and other sangha activities.

Valley Streams Zen Sangha is dedicated to the study of Buddha’s teaching and the practice of meditation. We invite newcomers and experienced Zen students to join us.
