Wisdom Wednesday: “Generative Zen” with Sarah Giffin

Wednesday, January 21st | 5:30–6:30 PM
Meditation begins at 5:30 pm MT, followed by the talk and discussion at 6:00 pm MT
Led by Sarah Giffin, this evening features meditation, a brief practice share, an opportunity to ask questions, and a chance to share your experiences with practice.
For this evening, Sarah will join on Zoom to reflect on Zen as a living tradition that continually gives rise to insight, community, and ethical response. Sarah will draw from her participation at an international Ecodharma symposium addressing today’s intertwined crises to explore how Zen practice is generative – not just essentially, not just inwardly, but collectively – shaping how we work together to meet suffering and care for the world we share.
These sessions are designed to enhance your practice and also provide an opportunity to connect with the local sangha community. This hybrid event is free and registration is not required. Please arrive five to ten minutes ahead of the scheduled time.
