Bozeman Zen Update

Bozeman Zen Group will not meet on Tuesday nights for the rest of February but continues to meet via Zoom on Sundays. Karen looks forward to seeing you again on Tuesdays in March!

Awakening the Body of Love

Join the Thich Nhat Hanh Practice Group at Beall Park Recreation Center on Saturday, Jan 22 from 9:30am-3:30pm for a Day of Mindfulness! Whether seasoned in the practice of meditation or new to the practice, coming home to mindfulness of the body lays the foundation for personal and societal transformation. Offered by Dharmacharya Greg Grallo in the Plum Village tradition, we will return to the Four Establishments of Mindfulness and explore the interconnection between the body, the mind, and the world.

Impermanence in Action

This week, several of our volunteers have been exposed to Covid and are waiting on test results which has led to the decision to postpone the noon sits for the rest of January. Similarly, the Bozeman Zen Group has decided to move to Zoom-only for the rest of the month. Stay safe everyone!

Every 2nd Monday of the month through March, Wendy Roberts and Karen DeCotis will offer short talks on Buddhist female ancestors at the Bozeman Zen Group meeting. We will sit zazen, have a short service, then dive into the rich lineage of women of the Dharma. Adepts, teachers, bodhisattvas and wise women – getting to know the stories, the struggles and the inspiration of women’s practice from Shakymuni Buddha to now. No registration necessary. All welcome!
