We chant “Releasing all harmful Karma ever created by me since of old….” yet do not necessarily have an empowering relationship with what that might imply for the living of our lives.   This workshop will look more deeply into the question of “What does it mean to be responsible for my life…. lives of others…. even all of life?”

We live in a world eager to pin fault on some outside source.  Responsibility is regularly associated with guilt and shame.   Together we will explore an alternative view of responsibility which leaves us with power in our day-to-day living. To prompt exploration, there will be suggested assignments between sessions.                                                                                                                                               

The three zoom Sessions will address:

1. The science behind how we wound up being who we think we are

2. Responsibility as an empowering possibility for day to day living

3. If "my actions are my only true belonging," where do the precepts of Zen Practice leave us?
