News from Our Community


Dharma Talks from Spring Sesshin. The 18th annual Everyday Zen Sesshin concluded Sunday with a Shosan Ceremony (Dharma Inquiry and Response) at Santa Sabina and a Closing Circle on Zoom. It was a deeply welcome return to practicing together in person and a profound experience for those sharing the space and forms with the in-person sangha through Zoom. Thanks to all for their diligence and patience! You can find the dharma talks collected on the Featured Teachings page, Dharma Talks from the Spring Sesshin.

April Seminar: Exactly As Those Of Old. In April, Chris Fortin and Jaune Evans will lead Dharma Seminar in a journey through our ancestral lineage. We'll study stories of the Buddha’s forty-five years of teaching as well as collective and collaborative models of leadership and relationship exemplified in the teachings of Mahapajapati and other Ancestors. See below for more details.

New Time for Dharma Seminar in May – June. Dharma Seminar will be held at a new time of 3:00 – 5:00 pm (PT) in May and June, meeting both in person and on Zoom. This is an experiment to see whether an earlier meeting time works better for those attending in person and those on Zoom in later time zones.
