Detroit Zen Center is a meditation community, founded in 1990 by Hwalson Sunim.  We are a branch of Sudeok-sa, a Temple in Korea.  We are open to the public for Sunday meditation, talks, retreats & special events.  The community is categorized by:  Friends, Patrons, Members, Students & Teachers.

Monks reside and guide a robust schedule during summer and winter seasons (kyolche).   Dharma Teachers and students guide a minimal schedule during spring and autumn seasons (haejae).  We steward green roofs, bioretention gardens & foster site-wide urban ecological stewardship site-wide including green roofs, bioretention & native gardens (Shine One Corner).  Short and long-term residency is available.  Our monastics reside during spring and autumn at our retreat center in the Upper Peninsula (Cloud Mountain Hermitage) and members may join them there for retreat.
