A new series on Nature and Dharma finishes out our Wednesday classes for the term.
This class explores how traditional Zen practices help one realize our basic nature as not separate from the natural world. We will examine practices and themes found in Zen and how they are consistent with deep ecology, including practices of the wild and touching earth practices. A special effort will be made to connect with and articulate contemporary spiritual struggles on the topic that class members are exploring. The focus will be on creating and enhancing related daily routines and habits.
