The Spirit of Zen: A Workshop on Zen Buddhist Meditation Announced
A Workshop and Community Gathering led by Roshi Lawson Sachter
Co-hosted by the Clear Water Zen Center and Windhorse Zen Community
2/3/2016 (PRESS RELEASE JET) -- Authentic Zen training is not easy, but we’re not living in easy times. Zen teaches that we can make a real difference – and that through changing our own hearts and minds, we change the lives of others.
Saturday, February 20th, 2016
10:00am to 3:00pm
Unitarian Universalist Church of Clearwater
This workshop will not only offer an introduction to traditional mindfulness, compassion, and inquiry-based practices, but it will also explore the ways these practices can relate both practically and psycho-dynamically to our lives. It will give participants a chance to discover what the Clear Water Zen Center has to offer; to meet our local teacher, Ken Rosen; and to talk with some of the like-minded people that form its community.
We hope you can join us!
Roshi Lawson Sachter is the Spiritual Director of the Clear Water Zen Center and co-abbot of Windhorse Zen Community located in Asheville, N.C. He is Zen priest, sanctioned Zen teacher, and licensed psychotherapist with over 45 years of dharma training.
