ASL Upon Request.

Prepare lunch with a group of strangers and eat it together, all in silence. Afterwards, reflect, via facilitated mindful dialogue, on your communal experience and what it means to nourish and be nourished.

Silent practice is a cornerstone of Zen Buddhism. At its heart, Zen meditation practice is returning to ease in the body and ease in breathing, allowing one to turn towards whatever they are experiencing. Participants will experience the effects of living this way for a short time and then reflect on their experience through a facilitated mindful dialogue at the end of the meal. In this way, we hope participants will have the opportunity to explore what it means to nourish and be nourished on many levels, beyond words and concepts, through the collective experience of making a meal and consuming it together in perfect silence.
