The Peter Matthiessen Center will extend the work of the author’s lifelong passions: writing, environmental conservation, and Zen Buddhism, and continue to inspire others for decades to come. Since his death in 2014, the exciting idea of establishing a center at the site has emerged. The six-acre site features a tranquil landscape surrounding three late 19th/early 20th-century buildings that he rehabilitated for use as a writing studio, family residence, and the first meeting place of the Ocean Zendo. (Published November 2019) Preservation Long Island is pleased to support an ongoing effort to preserve a culturally and historically significant place in Sagaponack, where world-renowned author and Zen master Peter Matthiessen (1927–2014) lived for more than 50 years. “You can have meaning or you can have rest but you can’t have both.” - Peter Matthiessen
