Our annual 8-month study group on the Zen Precepts. The group will be led by Myoki Raizelah Bayen and Ikushun Desiree Webster.
This class and community is for Zen practitioners interested in deepening their relationship to their practice and their lives through the study of the Zen Precepts.
All are welcome. Students moving towards Jukai are expected to attend all sessions plus the Jukai ceremony at the Fall Samish Sesshin. If you are interested in receiving Jukai this year, please see the Going Further page on the website and speak with a teacher for information on the process.
Each group meeting will include discussion, experiential exercises, and reflection in small groups on what these precepts mean for us as human beings and students of Zen, reflecting on the teachers' comments.
A second monthly meeting is self-organized by smaller study groups to discuss the readings and further reflect on how the precepts show up in their lives. Responses can be written, artistic, or verbal.
The study group concludes with a half-day retreat in early August.
