A Good Voyage of Nothing - One-day Zen Sitting led by So-On Jim Hare
2020-02-01 09:00 - 17:00
“I have discovered that it is necessary, absolutely necessary, to believe in nothing. That is, we have to believe in something which has no form and no color—something which exists before all forms and colors appear.” ~ Shunryu Suzuki, roshi
This theme will be explored in our practice and in the Dharma talk. The retreat will be led by So-on Jim Hare, Valley Streams Zen’s practice leader. This is a day-long sitting and walking meditation retreat for people with previous retreat experience, though not necessarily in Zen.

Please bring a bag lunch.
If this is your first time practicing with us or your first one-day sitting, please call Jim at 916-456-7752 or email info@valleystreamszen.org
Register on Eventbrite.com – or sign up on a Monday evening.
$20 or inquire about scholarship.
Our one-day and half-day sittings are held on the first Saturday of every month.

Zen Studies Circle, led by So-On Jim Hare
2020-02-03 19:00 - 21:00

Buddhist Studies Circle, led by Tanto So-On Jim Hare
2020-02-24 19:00 - 21:00
The Wheel of Liberation, as taught in the Upanisa Sutra, describes the conditions that lead to the end of suffering. This wheel of “liberating” conditionality corresponds to the third and fourth noble truths, the truths that there is an end to suffering and that there is a path to the end of suffering.

Jizo Ceremony - For Loved Ones Who Have Died and Other Losses
2020-03-07 13:00 - 16:00
Jizo is the beloved Great Bodhisattva found within many Buddhist traditions, who carries us across the threshold of death and loss and safely accompanies us through the ‘hell zones’ of deep suffering.
Especially honored in Japan, Jizo (also known as ‘Earth Store’ or ‘Earth Womb’) brings to us the qualities of courage, fearlessness, and tenderness needed to enter into our experiences of grief and loss and to open our hearts to the mystery of life and death.
This will be a sacred time for us to come together to acknowledge and remember the death of someone dear to us or another kind of significant loss, whether recent or from long ago. We will take refuge in the safe container of our shared presence with each other for the sake of our healing.
We will be introduced to this ceremony by our facilitators and then in silence we will create hand-made offerings for our loved ones. In a ceremony of remembrance we will honor their lives and our relationship with them. We will complete the ceremony with a processional into our garden to offer prayer flag messages for the dying and for ourselves as we continue to live our lives.
In this sacred space we will together turn towards the complexity of grief and discover the strength that arises when we embrace our interconnectedness with all beings.
Everyone is welcome and there is no fee. Donations offered will be given to the Susan Orr Memorial Garden.

This ceremony has been brought to us from Japan by Yvonne Rand and Jan Chosen-Bays and transmitted to Chris Forten and Sarah Emerson (all transmitted Zen Priests). Doralee Grindler Katonah will lead, assisted by Rev. Amie Diller. Doralee has received two years of training in preparation for guiding this ceremony.

ONLINE - Writing & Sitting Together at our Dharma Gates
2020-04-03 12:00 - 13:00
Join us for this shared opportunity for growth and development, co-led by Doralee Grindler Katonah and Linda Dekker. We will come together for one hour, with a guided writing time as the preamble to a 20-minute zazen practice; followed by another guided writing time, and then time to share. With pens and silent stillness, we will open our hearts to the dharma gates arising in the moment and journal before ‘sitting’ together and after our ‘sit’.
During this challenging time our possibilities for spiritual development and greater aliveness continue. In the words of Beth Jacobs:
“Deep experience is beyond words, but writing doesn’t just convey information. It causes things to happen, things that change both the writer and the reader forever.” (from A Buddhist Journal – Guided Practices for Writers and Meditators, Berkeley, CA: North Atlantic Books, 2018)
