“So our practice is not to eliminate our delusion, but to see or to become aware of the fact that we are deluded. Just become aware of it and let go of it. Do not be pulled by the delusions.” – Zen Master Dōgen, The Wholehearted Way

Comments from Students

This was a great class to dip my toes into mindfulness meditation. The class was well structured. Not overwhelming but enough to make me believe I want to continue my mindfulness meditation journey.

In just four sessions, I have learned a lot about techniques, and made more aware of possible obstacles to practicing mindfulness meditation. Hoping to take more of Fern’s class. Thank you for this wonderful class.
