Mondays, 7:10-8:30pm March 20 with Jeromy Thotland July 17 with Margaret Pfeffer and Susan Nelson November 6 with Deb Mielke No registration needed. This event is offered in person only. . We invite you to join this opportunity to practice deep listening and wholehearted speech, to build community and connection. Council process is a way of deep sharing in which participants speak, one at a time, from the heart. The intentions of council are speaking from the heart, listening from the heart, lean expression, speaking out, spontaneity, and confidentiality. The tenets of council are not knowing, bearing witness, and appropriate action.
Participants are encouraged to be present for one or both periods of zazen (5:50 and 6:30 pm) prior to council. Please be on time for council, since, out of respect for the process, it is not possible to join council once it has begun.
Theme for March 20 Council: In the wake of recent natural disasters and human violence in the world, how are you? Where are you with it all?
