Buddhist | Korean Seon (Zen)
Zen is a three-pronged practice of concentration, mindfulness, and enquiry. It calls us to be fully present to ourselves and to each situation, listening for what is being asked of us, trusting that the answer will reveal its wisdom in our actions and its resonance in the world around us.

What can attendees expect?
The session begins with a gentle somatic mindfulness practice that helps to liberate a deep tenderness within and facilitates a greater perception and awareness in mind-body field. Koans (a riddle or puzzle that Zen Buddhists use during meditation) will be introduced to facilitate enquiry. We then gradually expand the enquiry phase in creative engagement with the ancient koans that are still profoundly useful today.
