SUMMARY:1-1 Practice Guidance with Valerie Forstman
DESCRIPTION:Saturday June 29 ; 10-11 am (in-person only)\n\nOur Guiding Teacher\, Valerie Forstman\, will be offering in-person\, one-on-one practice guidance once a month on Saturdays – open to both members and non-members\, as well as students and non-students alike. This will take place on Saturday mornings from 10-11 am\, just before our monthly community event – Sangha Samu & Potluck. Simply show up with a curiosity or question\, and join the line of cushions in the dining room. It’s informal and operates on a first-come\, first-served basis. Afterwards\, stay for some community\, fun\, and food!\nKindly consider contributing dana (a traditional Buddhist offering) to express financial gratitude to our visiting teacher. Dana can be made through paypal: paypal.me/vforstman  \n∞ \nValerie Forstman is an Associate Zen Master of the Sanbo Zen lineage. Her first teacher\, with whom she continues to work\, was Ruben Habito Roshi. Since 2003\, she has also trained under the guidance of Yamada Ryoun Roshi\, current abbot of SanboZen. \nValerie joins Mountain Cloud with a shared vision of the core of the Zen path\, a way of coming home to who we truly are. This includes koan training\, “just sitting” practice\, and breath awareness practice\, and what it means to undergo the immense change of heart implied by the term “awakening.” What a joy and what a long road it can be\, not just to taste this\, but to embody it and live it out in lives of compassionate service. \nA first-career classical musician with degrees from Oberlin Conservatory and the University of Stony Brook in New York\, Valerie changed course in response to her practice and went on to earn a Master of Theological Studies and Ph.D. in Biblical Interpretation (Hebrew Bible). She recently retired from her work as Associate Dean for Admissions and Common Life at Brite Divinity School in Fort Worth\, TX.
