Contact her for presentations to your clubs or groups. If you’d like to be informed of future workshops please sign up for our event newsletter.

“Our members loved your talk. You explained everything so clearly and beautifully, infusing it with the spirit of Zen and tying it to how we can use those principles in our daily lives and homes. With great appreciation and thanks.”

Garden Tour and Intro to Zen Meditation

Dates: May 28, 2026

Time: 11 AM

On May 30, when the Japanese Iris are in full bloom, I’m opening up the garden for a tour and introduction to Zen meditation in the Tea House. We’ll walk through the Roji, the tea garden, and I’ll point out all the elements that make a garden that takes you to a secluded place “free from the dust of the world.”

Then we’ll go into the Tea House for instruction on meditation and then a short sitting before leaving to go back out through the garden into the rest of the world. Tivoli has lots of cafes, an ice cream store, and bakeries. I also recommend a walk through the Kaatsbaan Cultural park after your lunch or afternoon tea.
