We have an opening for a new resident!Click here for information & application Dear Karin, Boulder Zen Center has an open residential position beginning December 1st! The residency program is an opportunity for those with a strong interest in dedicated Zen practice to immerse themselves in a practice community. Here at the Boulder Zen Center, we are continually exploring the balance between the traditional monastic lifestyle and everyday Bodhisattva practice, redefining what Zen practice looks like in the West. Residents at BZC are committed to following the daily schedule of zazen meditation, zendo ritual, and Zen intensives to a significant degree, while continuing their professional work or educational program outside of the center. Residency is about deepening your personal practice, but also about living with a shared intention. Together we create an opportunity to practice mindfulness in daily activities and cultivate a life of freedom, wisdom, and compassion in community. We are looking for someone who can commit to at least a 6-month term, with preference going to longer commitments. The position is open beginning December 1st. If you're interested but this timing doesn't work for you, we still welcome you to submit an application now to be considered for future openings. Please reply to this email with any questions you might have, and feel free to forward this message to anyone you think may be interested.
