Though I spend a great deal of time resisting discomfort, I let out a deep sigh of relief when I finally give in and simply allow it to be what it is. Then I have the energy to take care of it.

The Village Zendo, the Temple of Free Expression, is a member of the Zen Peacekeepers whose tenets are Not Knowing, Bearing Witness and Healing Action.
The People of Color Sitting Group aims to embody the three tenets by being a sanctuary for People of Color to study, support and discuss how in a system (society) of oppression and racial bias we can create a community where we recognize our interdependence.
The meeting will take place online using zoom. For information about how to join, contact Mukei or email info@villagezendo.org.
