Intimacy With All Things

​By Rebecca Bradshaw, IPV Guiding Teacher

Sometimes not self is described as "nobody home." Anatta as emptiness. Let's come at it from the other side as "everything home." Anatta as fullness.

As the great Zen master Dogen said, "Awakening is intimacy with all things." Let's explore anatta as non-separation from the great web from which all life springs forth. Where do we begin and where do we end? How do we experience this non-separation in our own lives? 

Join me on Wednesday,  March 13, 7:00pm for an open sitting and dharma talk.
