Three Steps to Mindfulness
Three Steps to Mindfulness
Continuous, clear awareness of the present moment.
Saturday, November 4
9a.m.-4p.m.
Led by Roshi Ryodo Hawley
Zoom & In-person
The Three Step method is a roadmap to a mindful life based on the experience of unity that is the foundation of Zen. In this one-day workshop we’ll learn to find this realm of unity where there are no boundaries, no lack and no contention, then integrate it with our “normal” states of mind. This process transforms our everyday experience of life and results in a mindfulness that lets us live in a dynamic way directly inspired by the living moment rather than being unconsciously driven by our fears, worries and fantasies.
We’ll spend class time learning the steps and sit several periods of zazen putting them into practice. The intent is to be able to retrace these steps at will in zazen and everyday life. We also look at how the Steps dovetail with the Three Zen Peacemaker Tenets and other Buddhist practices.
Includes lunch, zazen, and face-to-face meeting with Roshi.
