About the event
In this sixty-minute workshop we will encounter and experience three pillars of formal Zen practice, namely sitting (zazen), chanting and walking (kinhin). In this short session we will become immersed in what Zen feels like, which is often quite different from common perceptions. For this practice, we will be seated on chairs or walking indoors. No special clothing, equipment or expertise is necessary.
The session will be led by Dr. Mike Worboys who has had many years of practice experience in communities and monasteries in the UK, USA and Japan.
Refreshments will be available before and after the session.
