What We Offer

The thing that really stuck out during the session was the idea of actually listening to your thoughts without judging them. Not trying to fix them or argue with them, just hearing what shows up.

I did a Mondo Zen session back in March of 2022. At the time I was just looking for different ways of seeing things—nothing specific I was chasing, just open to something new.

I didn’t have some big breakthrough right then, but over time the stuff from that session started to show up in regular life. Situations that would’ve felt negative before turned into chances to step back, listen, and see what was really going on instead of reacting.

What stayed with me the most wasn’t a moment—it was the tools. It gives you something you can actually use day-to-day, not just a nice idea you forget about later. Even now I still catch myself using that way of listening and noticing how it shifts things.

I decided to try Mondo Zen Facilitation after regularly attending meditation sessions at the Green Bay Zen Center. The more time I spent sitting in practice, the more curious I became about the deeper teachings behind Zen—how to bring mindfulness into everyday life, how to understand the mind more clearly, and how to approach challenges with more awareness. Going through the process ended up being incredibly meaningful. I was guided through a gentle but honest questioning, an invitation to look at my patterns of thought, and the guidance toward challenging assumptions that may no longer serve me. It helped me notice the stories I tell myself and create just enough space to see things more clearly. Overall, Mondo Zen gave me a sense of grounding and insight that deepened my meditation practice and helped me feel more connected to the teachings. I’m grateful I took the step to try it. Thank you Ensō Alberto!
