There is no other time than right here and now to wholeheartedly meet our lives - in all their suffering, beauty, sorrow and tenderness.

The Vital Way
Our intention for this class is to engage the Buddha Way by studying and more fully experiencing the self. Zazen (Zen meditation) is the primary practice of realizing and expressing our inherent awakeness.
Before engaging in this practice, we will explore our human ways of experiencing – how we take perspectives, and how our senses, thoughts, feelings and emotions operate. With this preparation, we will be well equipped to plumb the depths of who we are through through the practice of zazen.
