Zen Meditation and Dharma Talk to be Held at St. Mary's
On Saturday morning, November 11th, Bonnie Myotai Treace, Sensei of Hermitage Heart Zen will offer an introduction to Zen meditation at St. Mary's Church in Cold Spring. The class includes instruction in Buddhist methods for calming mind and body, while intimately exploring the implicit questions of human life. The first session begins 9am, and is followed by a period of meditation. The morning can also be joined at 10:30am by those already familiar with meditation, and will include a talk on Zen Buddhism followed by a community lunch and dialogue.

Sensei was for over a decade the teacher at the Zen Center of New York City, as well as Vice-abbess of Zen Mountain Monastery, and the establishing teacher of Fire Lotus Temple in Brooklyn before founding Hermitage Heart, a lay training dedicated to the development of home-based contemplative life and the discernment of genuine service.
Known for her work with various environmental, poverty, and women's social justice issues, Sensei's teaching draws from a background in Buddhist lineage succession and koan study that involved over twenty years of monastic life. Now resident in Garrison, Sensei leads quarterly week-long retreats for her students from around the country.
