Kōan Café with Melissa Rōshi and David Rōshi
Kōan Café: 10:30am-12:30pm
Come explore traditional Zen kōans in a non-traditional way through seriously playful community sharing. Melissa Rōshi and David Rōshi will guide you through the exploration of individual kōans, using meditation, free association, and group dialogue. Kōan café practice helps to illuminate these ancient and often enigmatic stories and clarify what it means to be alive and free as human beings. Everyone is welcome: prior experience working with kōans is not necessary. Pre-registration is required. Follow this link to register.
Upcoming Fall 2024 Dates: September 21*, October 12, November 16, & December 21*
