At Clouds in Water, the teachers regularly practice "flower watering" where we express what we appreciate about one another. Flower Watering is the first step in the practice of "Beginning Anew" in which we also practice expressing remorse and offering forgiveness. This is a wonderful practice that anyone can do. In this workshop, parents are invited to come with their children, ages 6 and older. We will learn this practice together, emphasizing the expression of gratitude.

There are ways of understanding both the world and the mind which can decrease stress, frustration and confusion while also connecting us to an appreciative experience of life.

In this series of long-form classes, we clarify the foundations of Buddhist thought, starting with early Buddhism and following the evolution of teaching and practice through the mahayana schools and culminating in an explanation of the unique teachings of Zen.

The intention of this series is to offer practitioners a deeper understanding of the ideas which underpin Buddhist practice, making available a more subtle and nuanced interpretation of practice experiences.

Online registration ends 1/1/26. If you would like to register after that date, email koji@cloudsinwater.org.
