The 3 Tenets of Zen Peacemakers: Not-Knowing, Bearing Witness, and Taking Action. Our third tenet is taking loving action from not knowing and bearing witness. This vow makes Zen Peacemakers unique. This is how we engage and reach out with helping hands to relieve suffering in our troubled world. Please join us to share your work, your project, and your own taking action with others. This circle will be held monthly in 2026.

In this training, we look at how we make sense of the world in order to act in it. Story and narrative will be at the core of the exploration, both as a way of understanding and sense-making and as an activator of creative imaginations that take us beyond what we see around us; also in relation to the "more-than-human" realms.

This program with offers a unique and deep journey into deep embodied listening as a way of life. How we listen is how we perceive. Our capacity to see with the heart - and respond skillfully and courageously - stems from the quality with which we listen, within and out, to ourselves, each other, and the natural world. There are personal, interpersonal, transpersonal, societal, ecological, and mystical implications to this way of listening. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, until January 15, 2026.
