Share Your Zen Journey Survey is your chance to reflect on your journey to Boundless Way Temple and Zen Buddhism and share it with others. The ultimate goal is to make the journey more accessible to future participants and improve the services for all who participate in programs at Boundless Way Temple.
https://worcesterzen.org/share-your-zen-journey/

Among other things, we are curious about what you would like to have known when you were new, and what we can do to better support participants. This is your chance to reflect and share feedback with us.

We hope to hear from everyone, whether your experience has been good, bad, or somewhere in between.

We will use your responses to improve program offerings and inspire future membership initiatives. Boundless Way Temple committees may use summary information as they determine our future path. We may also use select quotes in membership drives and on the website.
The survey consists of 11 questions, most of which are multiple selection questions with the option to share your story. It takes approximately 10-20 minutes to complete.
