This half-day retreat will include zazen, walking meditation (kinhin), a Dharma talk by Nyokai Kristin Diggs, and a social lunch to follow.
About this Event

In her Dharma talk, Nyokai Kristin Diggs will discuss "Not ignoring causation and not falling under its yoke." Suzuki Roshi said, "Real freedom is to not feel limited when wearing this Zen robe, this troublesome formal robe. Similarly in our busy life we should wear this civilization...without ignoring it, without being caught by it. Without going anywhere, without escaping it, we can find composure in this busy life."

A social lunch – bring your own - will follow the sitting.

Attendance is available on a sliding scale from $10 to $50. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

If this will be your first extended sitting with us, please send us a note at [email protected] to introduce yourself.
