All around Zen
Lectures by Tatsudo Nicole Baden Roshi

doodle_line.png

In this online study group, we will spend a year exploring the foundations of transformative Zen practice.

 

Zen is about aliveness: what aliveness is or what it could be. We step back from our identities and learn about ourselves as living, feeling beings. We bring our full attention to the processes of aliveness: breathing, standing, walking, sitting, and the details of our feelings, thoughts, and actions.

 

Every last Wednesday of the month, Tatsudo Nicole Baden Roshi gives a lecture on a selected topic, which we broadcast live in the Zen Lab.

 

  • Regular fee 10 €, members free :)

  • Last Wednesday of the month, 6:45 pm

  • Come along at 6pm for a period of shared meditation before the stream


With your contribution you help to maintain the Zen Lab. If the financial outlay is a hurdle for you, please talk to us!
