We wake up before dawn, sit in silence, listen to the Dharma, and work and provide for the temple together. We will be cultivating the mind of meditation for it to percolate the different activities of the day. Much of the day is in silence.
You will be trained within the Dharma Sangha curriculum, which integrates insights from modern psychology and science with the timeless wisdom of an evolving Zen tradition.
During this time, topics will be evolved together in a way that attends to each person’s process. The teaching includes the Five Foundational Qualities — Openness, Acceptance, Resonance, Stillness, and Integrity — and the more subtle dynamics of meditation and mindfulness practice.
