My Teaching Offerings
On Mondays at 11:00am west coast time (7:00pm for participants in the UK), I offer a weekly online sitting and discussion group: we start with 20 minutes of zazen; a chance to check in; and reading a talk by Suzuki Roshi which we use as the basis for discussion and questions about practice.
This is group has been meeting for several years, with a warm community of regulars, and others joining occasionally. All are welcome to attend, no matter what your experience level.

My regular ongoing student group meets every other Monday evening; we have been doing this for almost ten years now. Please ask if you would like to join this group.
Tuesdays I offer 8:00am meditation at Mukunda Studio, which you can also join online. This is offered by donation.
On Wednesdays at noon PST, I offer a weekly half-hour online meditation through Within.
I regularly lead the Thursday online sitting and discussion for Zen Center, which you can find out about here. I will lead on October 29th and November 12th.
Most weekends – a mixture of Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, I lead a Roaming Zen hike around a corner of San Francisco. You can find details at Meetup, on Instagram, or on the Roaming Zen page.
In collaboration with Sarah Koh, from Alchemy Springs, a special hiking and yoga day on Angel Island, on November 22nd. Limited spaces available – find out more here. We had to postpone this, since the original date co-incided with the last day of Fleet Week.
In February, I will be teaching a series of four classes for SFZC based on Suzuki Roshi at Tassajara, exploring how his teaching changed as he developed the first Zen training monastery outside of Asia. Details are here.
