GETTING STARTED AT RED CEDAR ZEN

Orientations:
Newcomers are always welcome, and orientations with senior students are available by request at 6:30pm each Wednesday and at 11:45am before our Monday, Wednesday, and Friday noon sits. Just show up or contact us to arrange an orientation. 4-hour Intro to Zen classes are also offered roughly quarterly, see the events page.

Classes:
Check the Events page for when our next quarterly 4-hour Introduction to Zen class will be held.

Private Interviews:
One-on-one inteviews with our priest and Spiritual Director, Nomon Tim Burnett, as well as lay teachers Yuzan Nancy Welch and Seishu John Wiley, and former head student’s Zaren Edie Norton and Reizan Bob Penny is also available. Interviews are announced during Wednesday night and Saturday morning practice and can also be arranged directly with the teachers.

Terminology note: dokusan is a private interview with a transmitted priest – in our sangha that’s typically Tim or Norman when he’s here. And practice discussion is a private interview with a lay teacher. The two are both private interviews about practice and living the life of a practitioner but doksuan is a bit more formal.
