Aging Buddhas: A Members Series with Scott Thornton

|
In this Members Offering series, Scott Thornton will facilitate a group explorations on various themes related to the aging process, such as grief, loss, illness, and equanimity with death, as well as gratitude, wisdom, wonder, and generative connections with younger generations. Through reflective discussions and contemplative practice, we will illuminate the path towards acceptance and peace amidst life’s inevitable changes. Join us as we embark on this journey towards understanding and embracing the essence of aging with grace and wisdom.
For information on how to join, including the Zoom link, become a member at Mountain Cloud.

Scott and his wife, Guiding Teacher Valerie Forstman Roshi, came to work at Mountain Cloud in July of 2022.

He began meditating on his own for 12 years before joining The Maria Kannon Zen Center in Dallas and beginning Koan study with Ruben Habito Rōshi in 2000. He continues his training with Henry Shukman Roshi.
