| KOAN
SEMINARS |
These exciting one-day programs offer a rare opportunity to experience
koans in a collaborative environment, working with one of the foremost
koan teachers in the United States. The programs include guided meditation,
interactive koan work and conversation.
No experience is needed to participate in a koan seminar; koans meet you where you are.
Koans are both works of art and methods
of spiritual transformation. With a koan you let it keep you company.
It's not a matter of looking for the right answer, but of finding out
what the koan has to teach you. The koan doesn't judge you or complain,
it just reveals what the mind does. It also shows the nature of the world
when it is not being too distorted by delusion.
Koans are
intended to take you directly into reality — before you can explain
it away.
Payment
and Refund Policy for Koan Seminars:
1. Full payment is required in advance, and your place will be reserved in the order your payment (by Credit Card or Check) is received by the Registrar.
2. Cancellations for refund must be delivered to the Registrar (by email or phone only) by one week prior to the Seminar. After that date, no refunds will be given. Instead, your fee will be added to our Scholarship Fund for the Monetarily Challenged - and much appreciated.
3. All fees taken in the last week prior to the Koan Seminar are non-refundable.
4. In the past we would let fees 'roll over' to the next Koan Seminar, but we no longer do that.In Sum: If you cancel more than one week ahead of the seminar your fee will be refunded or, if you choose, applied to the Scholarship Fund as in the case of late cancellations.
Thank you.
