Finding your place in the practice of Zen and in a spiritual community is not always easy. Taking Your Seat is a program designed to help newer members of Dharma Rain establish their meditation practice, create warm relationships with other members, and become part of the temple community.

Taking Your Seat is for active members of Dharma Rain in their first few years of practice. The program begins in September and includes six meetings over the course of four months. Leaders include Daicho, Maya Williams, Ko’in, Guy Berliner, Kichizo (Kat), and Terry Carnahan.

Meetings will include discussions and exercises, as well as informal social time and chances to practice forms. Topics will be based partly on what the group needs and wants, but may include a review of foundational teachings, practicing oryoki, investigating mondo, exploring the purpose of formal practice, how Dharma Rain is organized, and gateways for practice at Dharma Rain – or just having dinner together. Attendance at all or part of a formal sesshin during this six-month period will be encouraged and supported. There will be many chances to ask questions and get to know each other in the context of practice and the treasure of Sangha.

Numbers will be limited. Participants are expected to be pledging members and attending events at the Zen Center with some regularity.
