Three Steps to Mindfulness
with Roshi Ryodo Hawley
Saturday September 21

The Three Step method is a roadmap to a mindful life based on the experience of unity that is the foundation of Zen. In this one-day workshop we’ll learn to find this realm of unity where there are no boundaries, no lack and no contention, then integrate it with our “normal” states of mind.
