  • the physical fundamentals of how to meditate: what to do with your hands, your breath, and your attention

  • what to do when distractions arise (because they will)

  • how martial arts and the fine arts are used to deepen Zen training

  • responses to students’ most often asked questions

What to bring: Yourself! Cushions and materials are provided.
