Terragno Roshi offers dokusan, an opportunity to meet privately for a discussion of meditation practice. Terragno Roshi works with and guides students in their practice, which may include the study of Zen koans as a way of waking up to one’s true nature and developing the awareness, compassion, insight, and presence to live courageously and responsibly.
