One Day Saturday Sesshin, Karma and Interdependence: Abbot Gaelyn Godwin Roshi
Abbot Gaelyn Godwin leads a day of intensive practice. Practicing together in a day of sesshin allows us to continue to develop and deepen practice.
The day will be focused on zazen and understanding karma. Zazen can ground and support us, everyone around us, and the whole world, allowing us to open to the teachings of karma. The day includes zazen (sitting meditation), kinhin (walking meditation), a dharma talk with discussion, and breaks for meals. Beginners are encouraged to contact the co-Tantos before signing up.
