Knoxville Koan Study Group
Knoxville, Tennessee
When we meet:
1st Wednesday of each month, 6:30-7:30pm
Where we meet:
Glowing Body Yoga Studio, 711 Irwin Street, Knoxville 37917
We sit around and do a lot of nothing. That means we meditate, and okay – we talk, too. The only rule we have is that no one is trying to teach anyone anything. We check in for the first few minutes and see if anyone has an experience they would like to share from the prior month’s koan. Then we sit for 30 minutes with the new koan. Afterwards, we share (or not) what’s emerging. And then a whole lot of something happens, but I am not sure what. If I read this description, I probably would not come knocking on our door to find out about awakening. So, let me say it this way instead: we wear party hats and have a peanut gallery, and sometimes, we even dance out loud, yet no one ever seems to remember that part and it never ends up on Youtube. But it feels important, and touching, and fun. Try it out – koan meditation is different, and important, and touching, and fun.
