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. The group starts with 20 minutes of zazen, a chance to share thoughts about practice, followed by a reading from Suzuki Roshi (we got all the way through Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind, so we are studying other talks he gave) which we use as the basis for discussion and questions about practice.
This is a drop-in group, so there is no need to rsvp or make a particular commitment – though of course consistency is beneficial for our practice and creates a stronger, more authentic container.

My regular ongoing student group meets every other Monday evening, usually with a mixture of in-person and online participation; we have been doing this for almost ten years now. If you would like to be considered for joining this group, please be in touch. This group will be going to Tassajara from September 1st – 6th 2026, if you are interested in joining.
The Tuesday morning 8:00 meditation at Mukunda Studio is now hybrid! Please click the link to attend in person or on Zoom. This is offered by donation – pay what you can.
On Wednesdays at noon PST, I offer a weekly half-hour online meditation through Within.
Starting on January 7th, I will be leading a meditation at Alchemy Springs every other Wednesday at 5:15pm.
I regularly lead the Thursday online sitting and discussion for Zen Center, which you can find out about here. We are still finalising the 2026 schedule.
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.
Further ahead I will be giving a series of online classes for Zen Center on the Bodhisattva Vows, in April and May 2026.
