Dharma Seminar: January

January 19, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm PST

Everyday Zen’s Dharma Seminar meets weekly on Wednesday evenings. The evening includes a period of Zazen followed by lecture and small and large group discussion. Our study is generally centered on a classical text, changing more or less each month; the emphasis is always on the application of the teachings to daily life.

Norman leads seminar most weeks with senior teachers filling in when he is away. Students are asked to attend all meetings in the calendar month.

In January, seminar returns to an online-only format, in Zoom. 

Event Details

As always, seminar runs from 7:00 – 9:00 pm, starting with half an hour of zazen. For January’s Dharma Seminar, we will study koans. Norman and Chris Fortin will co-lead seminar each week in January.
