Thursday Night Circle Discussion

Students and teachers listen to the discussion at the zen circle

This regular gathering is an opportunity for those who usually meditate together in silence to come together to reflect on, speak about, and discuss a pertinent Zen topic posed by one of our teachers who also acts as the evening’s facilitator. The topic may be about Zen practice, a Zen-related text, or events in our world. Circle affords practitioners a chance to express and hear each other’s views and insights – opening all up to a larger perspective.

The focus of the evening’s discussion is sent to members ahead of time and also posted on the bulletin board at the zendo.

Circle is held 5 times a year and is for regular attendees of the zendo only.
