In this webinar, Kenneth Setsuzan Kushner Roshi will continue his discussion of the hara and its role in Zen, the martial arts and fine arts. This time, Kushner Roshi will focus on intermediate and advanced exercises that can help you deepen your breathing and make the transition from abdominal to hara breathing. If you didn’t participate in Kushner Roshi’s first hara development webinar, you can watch it here. You may also want to visit his Hara Development blog to get basic information on hara and familiarize yourself with the exercises he will be teaching. As before, this is will be a highly experiential webinar, and participants will be asked to practice the exercises as they are introduced. So, dress accordingly and be prepared to breathe!

The webinar (7:30-8:45pm CST) will occur immediately after evening Daily Zazen (7-7:30 pm CST). After Daily Zazen, we will switch to a different Zoom link for the Webinar. To participate in the Webinar, please register here. As always, a video will be recorded and placed online. Events through Chosei Zen are donation-based and open to all regardless of ability to pay.
