Welcome to Valley Zendo, a serene place of worship nestled in the tranquil woods of the Berkshire mountain foothills. Located at 263 Warner Hill Road, Charlemont, Massachusetts, Valley Zendo is a sanctuary for those seeking to practice zazen and immerse themselves in the teachings of Soto Zen Buddhism. Founded in 1974 through the collaborative efforts of priests from Antaiji, our home temple in Japan, and North American lay practitioners, Valley Zendo has been a beacon of spiritual retreat for nearly five decades. Our simple, rustic facilities reflect the purity of our practice, embodying the traditional and minimalist lifestyle of the Antaiji tradition.
