Living Dharma with Ease & Joy
How do we avoid creating the mental blocks that make it hard to truly be kind and loving? In the context of bodhisattva practice, what is right effort? How can we stand upright in the unremitting storm that is impermanence, with grace and joy?
This weekend will also include sessions in mindful body care that will help develop ease though a lifetime of Zen practice. Chery Drake-Bowers of Drake Advanced Myofascial Bodywork will guide us in simple body intelligence exercises based on the Feldenkrais inspired work of Ruthy Alon.

Touching Liberation Together — Sesshin for Black, Indigenous, Asian and People of Color (BIAPOC)
At Zen Mountain Monastery.
In this silent retreat, we hope to create a safe affinity space for members who self-identify as Black, Indigenous, Asian and People of Color (BIAPOC). New or more experienced BIAPOC practitioners are welcome to join us. Together, we will embrace the liberatory practices of our Buddhist ancestors through sesshin, characterized by silence and deep introspection. We will wake up each day before dawn to begin a schedule that includes 7 to 10 hours of meditation, chanting services, formal silent meals (oryoki), silent work practice, body practice, and talks by the teacher and senior students.
This retreat is free of charge but any donation helps fund scholarships for future BIAPOC events.

May-June 2023 Intensive: Be Nothing: Understanding Impermanence, Finding Liberation
Liberation, the release from suffering, is basic to the Buddha's teaching, from the Four Noble Truths to the Parinirvana, and fundamental to this practice. Our relentless, losing battle against impermanence and emptiness is the cause of so much of our suffering as well as suffering in the world. How do we stop the madness and cultivate clarity, awareness, and true compassion?
During this Intensive we will explore what it means to walk the path of liberation through our own efforts in zazen and discussion of the fundamental teachings of the Buddha as well as those of the Ancestors.
