GUIDES


Our Resident Guides are here to support individuals moving through the challenges of living with awareness in today’s complex world. Their focus on awareness practice emerges from their study with the monks of the Zen Monastery Peace Center in Murphys, California and from their own professional history which combines more than fifty years of providing pastoral care, counseling, hospice care, and Zen training for groups and individuals.

 

They serve as guides in this practice - leading discussions, planning programs, and being available for individual guidance at The Still Point.
