Koan Seminar

just fyi . . .

here's a description of our pre-pandemic program:

The first Sunday of each month we hold a Koan Seminar: we sit with a koan for one period, talk about it as a group, take a short break, and repeat with another koan. Group Koan work was a Chinese Chan practice which morphed into the individual Koan study of Japanese and American Zen. In our tradition, we make use of both modes. You don't need any prior experience with Koans to participate!
