Based on Karen Maezen Miller's Paradise in Plain Sight: Lessons from a Zen Garden and teachings from the Kabbalah, this first talk: The Gate and the Ground, explores having faith in yourself as The Way, how all of life experiences are conspiring to bring us into a deeper awareness and experience of Spirit and looks at how the rocks of our life, our shadows, and our greatest challenges can support the expansion and sharing of our greatest gifts. Bringing teachings from Kabbalah, I Ching, and Zen together for inspiration.
