And, what a marvelous novice ordination for Myoki Raizelah Bayen it was!! With a packed house in person--and on Zoom, and with her formal teacher Hoka Chris Fortin and our guiding teacher Nomon Tim, we participated in her deep and moving ceremony before she heads off to Green Gulch. There she will enjoy a taste of monastic life as a new Novice Priest in the Soto Zen tradition.  We will look forward to hearing from her about her adventures as she deepens her understanding and commitment.

For those of you who were unable to attend Raizelah's ordination ceremony on September 28th, please find the recorded session at the link below:
