“The Brick and the Mirror: Daylong Koan Workshop with Henry Shukman

enlightenments one mountain shukman

Sunday July 16, 9:30 am – 3pm MT

Curious about what a koan is, and how to work with one?

Looking for a practice that can help us calm and settle the nervous system, and at the same time that points us toward nondual experience?

Koans offer a wonderful method for examining our experience, of coming to know ourselves in wholly new ways, and of making massive discoveries about the nature of our relationship to the world.

In this daylong workshop-retreat experience, we will explore a famous koan from early Zen in which a great master and his student (later to become a great master too) have an exchange that cuts to the core of meditation practice, of the path of awakening, and of our own lives. Who are we? How can we grow in wisdom and compassion? How do we uncover our own “buddha nature”?

REGISTER NOW

Please note, this workshop is designed for all levels. We invite you to dive in, whether you’re new to meditation, or many decades down the path…
