A family day is an opportunity for families with children to come and learn a bit about practice in a kid friendly way. The morning usually starts with a little walking meditation and some guided sitting meditation followed by a story and some activity that will allow us to explore practice in daily life. We end the morning with a snack and closing circle. Parents are encouraged to come and practice with their children.
30 minutes of meditation followed by vespers, the last ceremonial of the day. Vespers is the Chanting of The Litany of the Great Compassionate One followed by other short verses.
The Dharma discussion will be on various topics of training in the Soto Zen Tradition.
Wednesday evening Dharma class and vespers via zoom. (For access information, send us an email.) Lately we have discussing the Zen koans in Nyogen Senzaki’s book “The Iron Flute.”
