There will be no in-person practice held at the Zen Center on Wednesday and Friday, October 5th and 7th. In-person practice will resume on Sunday October 9th. Thank you for your patience, and for being a part of Blue Heron.
Starting in October, Eric Nord, JDPSN and Zen Master Jeong Ji will be offering in-person Dharma Dialogues on occasional Sunday mornings during practice (to be determined on an ad hoc basis, depending on their availability).
If you cannot attend an in-person Dharma Dialogue, we encourage you to contact Eric Poep Sa or Jeong Ji Soen Sa directly for online Dharma Dialogues to set up a mutually agreed upon time.
We will no longer be having a week of online Dharma Dialogs each month.
An orientation meeting for those new to our practice will be held each Sunday morning, beginning promptly at 8:30am Pacific Time, at the Blue Heron Zen Center, 10303 Densmore Ave North in Seattle. (Except during Retreats or Ceremonies) This meeting will provide an orientation for anyone who is new to Zen practice or new to our community about what to expect and how to participate.
Please arrive by 8:20am PT, so that the discussion can begin promptly at 8:30.
The first session will be held on October 2, 2022
Blue Heron Zen Community currently has openings for residential training at our center in North Seattle. Residency at the Zen Center offers a unique opportunity to strengthen one’s Zen practice in a beautiful and mutually supportive environment. Prospective residents will have a strong commitment to Zen practice, be open to gentle guidance from the teachers within the community, and communicate with the Abbot about residential matters. For more information about residential training, please see our Resident Guidelines. If you’d like to discuss becoming a resident at Blue Heron, please contact Abbott Paul Gulick or Zen Master Jeong Ji.
