In this class series we will explore the experience of following the forms of practice as they have been given to us. In the first session we will examine:

What is the heritage expressed in our forms?

How do the hand postures support you in remaining steady, focused, and grounded?

In what ways is walking meditation a continuation of zazen?

Where is the bow directed?

When do we know that harmony is expressed?

In the second and third sessions we will experience the application of attentive movement to the support roles in the zendo. We will use this time to learn or refine your skills as the ringer of bells, the sounder of the drum, the attendant at the altar, the officiant.

Session dates are: Sept 13, Oct 11, Oct 25; 10:00-11:30am

$12 Sustaining Members per class and $15 Others per class
