Sensei Anraku Hondorp

Anraku Hondorp is the co-founder with Ryūmon H. Baldoquín Sensei of Two Streams Zen which joins together the lineages of Taizan Maezumi and Shunryu Suzuki. As a dedicated practice space for People of Color, Two Streams Zen offers sanctuary for all people wanting to wake up, to respond fearlessly, skillfully and compassionately in this world of perceived differences.

Anraku began Zen studies in 1987 with Daido Loori at Zen Mountain Monastery where she met Enkyo O’Hara who became her root teacher.

In 2000 Anraku became a novice Zen priest and founded The Zen Center on Main Street which was an affiliate center of The Village Zendo for 11 years. She received Denkai in 2007 and in December 2009 she received dharma transmission becoming a dharma heir of Enkyo O’Hara.

Anraku is passionate about raising awareness of power, privilege and whiteness within dharma contexts as integral to the path of liberation.

Dr. Catherine Anraku Hondorp has been in private practice as a trauma informed chiropractor and counselor for over 30 years.
