CityZen Programs

CityZen is a Welcoming Sangha

Life and death are mysterious matters,

And knowing and unknowing interweave.

Who knows how long we have on this earth?

Sun faced Buddha,

Moon faced Buddha,

All are blessed,

All are blessed.

Morning Quiet Meditation and Meeting with Roshi

Rachel Mansfield-Howlett, Roshi will be holding dokusan on the 2^nd and 4^th Fridays at the UU in Santa Rosa as part of our morning Opening Sitting and Dokusan. It’s an open sit, meaning there are no bells or timed periods, and it is first come, first serve starting at 6:30am and closing at 8:30am. Come to discuss your practice, receive or check in on a koan, or just to say hello if we haven’t met in person before. If you would like to come and not see a teacher, that’s ok too! You can treat it as an opportunity to sit together, enjoying the simplicity of the morning light before your day begins.

Location: UU Board Room

Time: Drop in between 6:30 and 8:00. Closing dedication and 4 vows at 8:30.

Entry: The board room has a door just south of the main entrance that fronts Mendocino Ave.

Teacher Liaison: Rev. Chris Bell will be in attendance if you have any questions about this event.
