Join us for 2024 Brooklyn Zen Center’s Summer Read: a conversation on The Little Book of Zen Healing by Dr. Paula Arai, a new book on adapting Zen rituals to infuse everyday life with purpose, healing, and gratitude.
The book launches a rich season of Dr. Arai bringing her wisdom and scholarship to BZC, and a practice period focused on healing and the feminine in Buddhism.
For the 2024 BZC Summer Read Conversation, Dr. Arai will join the sangha over zoom on Wednesday, September 25, 7–8:30. Registered participants will receive a zoom link.
Registration closes September 24.
