Circle meetings are an opportunity for those who sit at ZDS to participate in the care and development of our sangha. Everyone is encouraged to become involved in at least one Circle: People, Practice, or Place. Meetings are open discussions; just come.

The People Circle focuses on cultivating and supporting those who are drawn to zen practice, maintaining the well-being of the sangha, and relating with other dharma groups in our community. Co-facilitators are Jonathan Hissong and Paul Cavanaugh.

People Circle meetings are on the 4th Thursday of each month at 6 pm. To attend, log in via Zoom at https://zoom.us/j/96658134788?pwd=Yyt6Q0xaY2dXZ2YzUzNJWGpaejV1dz09 If you are an active Zen practitioner and interested in the Circle’s purpose, you are most welcome to come & join in the conversation.
