019. HAPPENINGS | MARCH 4, 2025 |

Dear friends, Last week, we discussed the relationship of money while living a path of service with our Namuna Guides, an exceptional group of dedicated, and trusted practitioners. As one of our guides Aude shared “The number one killer of intimacy is transaction.” And another guide Isis shared in return, “The consciousness of offering is the antidote to the extractive mind.” We're designing a new creative funding model to support our exceptional community of practitioners so they can serve a wider group of people who may normally may not be able to afford their services, while also being valued for their time and energy. If you're interested in being a part of this new funding model, or workshopping solutions with us, please join us at our April gathering Gifting Consciousness & The Art of Practice at ChoZen. On another note, we're delighted to announce our gathering during the Summer Solstice from June 17-22 at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center in Big Sur, California. We have received special permission to host on the entire property with our curated community of community leaders, masters of their craft, and guides. Tassajara is full practice cloistered Zen monastery founded by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi in 1967, with its own hot springs. More details on each gathering below, as well a curated selection of community events around the world. We hope to see you soon. With love, Elyse and Zach |
