with Keiryu Liên Shutt
Are you at a point in your life in which you feel like it's time for a change, but you're not sure how to proceed?
Change can be hard. Especially a change that we haven't chosen at this time, such as job or relationship loss. Or perhaps this is a life-transition time. Maybe as you think of all the many possible ways to go, you begin to feel confused: "Shall I do what I've always wanted to do, or stay with what I know?" "Is it time to go toward my 'heart's desire,' or is it time to get more training?"
At times like these, teachings both from Zen Buddhism and from the motivational field can help us. Join Liên for a daylong workshop in which we will explore how to incorporate both meditative practices and behavior-change skills in order to:
Find stability and centeredness so that you can be truly present and aware.
Use tools to help you evaluate what you’re feeling "called" to do at this time in your life.
Learn what may be keeping you from achieving.
Discover tools to help you set and achieve goals.
Meditation and Buddhist practices along with evaluative and skill-building tools will be practiced in small and large groups. Plan for a day in which you will be engaged from the heart and with mindfulness.
The time for change has come into your life. Come see how you can learn to meet this with ease, grace and skill, and go towards the life that is waiting to be created by you!
Fees: $80; $72 current SFZC members; $64 limited income.
Lunch, tea and an afternoon snack will be provided.
Scholarships available. No one turned away for lack of funds.
Rev. Keiryu Liên Shutt received dharma transmission from Zenkei Blanche Hartman in the tradition of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi. Born into a Buddhist family in Vietnam, she began her meditation practice in the Insight tradition of Spirit Rock. She was a founding member of the Buddhists of Color in 1998. Her Soto Zen training began at Tassajara monastery, where she lived from 2002-2005, after which she practiced monastically in Japan and Vietnam. While she has placed her trust and faith in Zen, she continues to enjoy the deep silence of Insight practices and has completed retreats in America and Thailand. Drawing from her monastic experiences, she endeavors to share ways in which the deep settledness of traditional practices can be brought into everyday life.
Liên is grateful to have right livelihood as a social worker, mainly within the field of homelessness. In terms of Dharma work and practice, she’s based at San Francisco Zen Center but also teaches at East Bay Meditation Center and other Bay Area groups. She has been published in Once Upon A Dream: The Vietnamese-American Experience (San Jose Mercury News Books), Social Work Perspectives, The Mindfulness Bell, and in both Turning Wheel: The Journal of Socially Engaged Buddhism and Turning Wheel Media, a Buddhist Peace Fellowship online periodical.
