Hello from Chōzen! We're gathering a group of guides, community leaders, and patrons this week to discuss what living a life of practice really means – and how we can help create a new economic system to better support the unique needs of those dedicating their lives to healing and service. For those interested, we will share the learnings from this week – just email us and let us know if you'd like to recieve the highlights! Applications closing soon: We're in the midst of curating our gathering during the Summer Solstice from June 17-22 at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center in Big Sur, California. It's a rare opportunity to experience a week of deep practice on a exquisite sacred land, as we have received special permission to host on the entire property with our curated community of guides, masters of craft, and closest collaborators. Tassajara is full practice cloistered Zen monastery founded by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi in 1967, with its own natural hot springs. If you're interested, we invite you to apply here soon. With love, Zach and Elyse |
