Clouds In Water Zen Center

Clouds in Water offers regular talking circles where sangha members can share thoughts and feelings on various topics. In these circles we will invite you to speak from a zazen place, opening to spaciousness, ease and not-knowing. Our community will be stronger as we listen to more voices. Councils will be in person and on Zoom. Zoom Link.  Meeting ID: 889 6825 9373  Passcode: 628788

June 4, 11 am - 12 pm: Dismantling Heteronormativity, Cis-gender normativity, and Patriarchy. How can we be more aware of the ways in which these toxic forces operate in our minds and bodies, communities and society? How can we at Clouds in Water support more wholesome and inclusive behavior going forward?

July 30, 11 am - 12 pm: Jukai graduates. Reunion meeting of all past jukai graduates. Feedback to Clouds on the jukai process. What do you need to continue on your path now? How can you help others in the process?

September 17, 11 - 12 pm: Paths of Practice. We'll explore together the many different ways to practice - paths for family members, householders, those interested in priest or teacher training, those interested in deepening sangha commitments. An open discussion of where we are in our practice and how Clouds in Water can support us. This would also be a good session for those considering jukai (receiving the precepts in lay ordination).
