SESSHIN: Teachings of our Women Ancestors

In this sesshin, we will learn from the open-hearted practice of our women ancestors through their awakening poems as recorded in the Therigatha, the earliest known collection of women’s spiritual poetry, and through study of some of the many koans that highlight the understanding of our female ancestors in India, China, and Japan. These koans capture the deep wisdom, fierce devotion, humor and free spirit of our women ancestors.
