About this Event
Paravrtti Doralee Grindler Katonah, a Soto Zen Priest at Valley Streams Zen Sangha, will be teaching this daylong in person only.
The world is in turmoil – everywhere we turn the foundations of our values are being uprooted.
Yet, the deepest truth is that the ‘ground beneath the ground’ - where stillness and silence live is the source of the potential for creating a future together that expresses and supports the preciousness of all life. Come participate in this collective intelligence, attuned with the pulsations of life; offering possibilities for creating a future that embodies kindness, creative expression, compassion, and courage to live our lives grown out of care for each other and the world. Discover new stories that gives us the strength and clarity to act differently in the world, guided by wisdom arising from within. A process of transformation will be activated, awakening new ways of being in our everyday lives.
- Please bring a water bottle and your lunch.
- Chairs and cushions are provided, but you are welcme to bring your own.
