Dharma Family Sundays with Susan Nelson

For parents and children of all ages. Come together to share the dharma with stories, meditation, songs, activities and food. This is a time for parents to share their practice place with the rest of the family and for children and parents to make connections with others in the Zen community, (not limited to members of MZMC).

The focus will be on sharing the spirit and the joy of the teaching in community, with some sitting and walking meditation, including guided meditation, as well as stories and activities that highlight the ethical and relational aspects of the teaching. Giving, kind speech and action, harmony with our world, and wisdom in our everyday interactions will be major themes, along with fun and fellowship.

Susan Nelson and other guest leaders from MZMC will offer this monthly event. Susan has been a member of the Minnesota Zen Center since 1978. She was ordained as a priest by Tim Burkett in 2003 and has served in various roles over the years. She has enjoyed practicing with and coordinating retreats for women and families at Hokyoji Zen Practice Community. She has worked in various non-profit settings, including coordinating family support programs such as MELD for Minneapolis Way to Grow. She and her husband enjoy their five adult children and six grandchildren immensely.
