Loss and Grief — and Zen

with Mark Kanchi Esterman Roshi

This is an opportunity to share and explore our experiences of loss and grief and their relation to our Zen practice. Rather than a course about an abstract or impersonal subject, it comes from my personal experience and the questions that have arisen from it — questions which I believe many if not all of us Zen practitioners have faced or are facing in our own lives. 

"These meetings offered a true sense of Sangha support. Kanchi Roshi opened a space for simply sharing and listening without agenda or hierarchy. I felt welcome, appreciated and well-supported. I hope we will repeat this inquiry into the teachings of loss and grief." — B.G.

"Deeply transformative and supporting to me during my own experience of loss." — D.M.

Classes meet on Zoom for one hour on three consecutive Saturday mornings at 9:00 AM (Mountain Time). This time avoids conflicts with Genpo Roshi's scheduled events and is manageable for people in both Europe and the Americas. 

Class size is limited to about a dozen people to facilitate full participation.
