Reading Sue Moon’s New Book
Join us Wednesday, June 22nd for a Reading and Community Event to celebrate the publication of Sue’s new book, Alive Until You’re Dead: Notes on the Home Stretch.
Sue will read from her new book, Jaune Evans will join her in conversation, and there will be time for Q&A and open conversation. Also, on June 18th, Sue and Jaune will offer a workshop online at San Francisco Zen Center, Dancing with Impermanence Together.
June All-Day Sitting (hybrid)
Barring another spike in COVID, our June All-Day Sitting will be held at the Community Congregational Church in Tiburon and also on Zoom. It will be led by Everyday Zen senior teachers Alan Block and Jaune Evans. Please register to attend in person or to attend online. The day will conclude with the Full Moon Bodhisattva Ceremony, an ancient ritual of purification and renewal.
When You Greet Me I Bow
Norman’s most recent book is a collection of essays, When You Greet Me I Bow: Notes and Reflections from a Life in Zen. Edited by Cynthia Schrager, the essays span a life of inquiry into Zen practice, relationship, cultural encounter, and spiritual creativity.

Support the Everyday Zen Foundation
Dana, in Sanskrit and Pali, means generosity, or the practice of giving. In this spirit, Norman makes his talks available for download through this website for no charge other than a suggested donation, and all Everyday Zen workshops and retreats are offered at the lowest possible cost.
Please help if you can. We welcome financial donations of any size, at any time. We also encourage Norman’s students to consider making recurring monthly donations, which help generate a regular and reliable income to support Norman’s work and livelihood.
