01 / ABOUT US

A living practice, shaped by people, place, and daily action.

The Heart’s Dana brings contemplative practice into modern life through real ways to listen, sit, share tea, and take part. We begin with the practice itself—not a promise of perfection, but a way of returning.

OUR MISSION

We make contemplative practice more accessible through sleep music, Zen tea, community action, and China Zen retreats.

OUR PRACTICE

We create guided listening, tea practice, and stories that bring attention into ordinary days.

OUR ACTION

Our work is expressed through community participation, service pathways, and cultural exchange.

ZEN LINEAGE

From East Asian Chan and tea
to contemporary mindful living.

Zen brought awareness into ordinary action. Tea gave that awareness warmth, fragrance, rhythm, and a form that could be shared. The Heart’s Dana explores how ancient practice can remain alive in contemporary life.
