(check calendar for exceptions)

This is a 90-min bimonthly class for basic beginner through intermediate practitioners. We focus on physical aspects of yoga that can prepare the body for sitting practice and relieve pain that can arise, and the experience of energy (prana/chi) movement. Participants learn safe alignment, how to use props normally found in a zen center, and multiple poses to work through 3-planes of motion in shoulders, hips, spine, and deeper awareness. Suggested donation is $15 per class on a drop-in basis (PayPal, cash, or check accepted). Preregistration not required. Taught by CZC Abbot Emeritus Annie Weisbrod, who has practiced yoga for 3 decades and is a certified yoga, fitness, and health coach (eRYT-500, ACE).

Zen is our practice of inquiry into unobstructed clarity about the nature of ourselves, others, and the world. But there is also the question of what we DO with this life and how we conduct it in the day-to-day challenge of responsibilities, relationships, and livelihood. Join CZC Resident Teacher Myo Wol Soen-sa for conversation looking into what makes life work well. Myo Wol will bring a tool or concept from dharma practice or his professional role as a wellness and life coach to initiate discussion. No preregistration or suggested donation. Just show up!

Join us monthly as we share aspects of Zen and Tea Ceremony. Presented as a meditational activity in the use of handcrafted implements, the bonding between host and guest, and the structured movements they share in making and drinking a bowl of matcha tea. The tea ceremony developed under the influence of Zen Buddhism, with the aim of purifying oneself by becoming one with nature. Explanation of tea etiquette, equipment, and vocabulary will be given so practitioners will be able to participate fully in the taking of tea. Hosted by Joe Haeng Sah Fisher, CZC’s Vice Abbot who has taken the 16 precepts of our zen lineage and has completed tea studies in Nyūmon, Konarai, and Chabako of the Urasenke school. Preregistration not required.
