Zen with Zach

Join Zach + Ann Pirruccello Roshi for an inspiring, introspective, and community-filled morning on Saturday, August 26th. This Zen with Zach event will be an incredible opportunity to deepen your meditation and yoga practice. We will start by clearing and embodying the lower three energy centers, followed by deep guided and unguided meditation, then we will hear from Annie Roshi who is a seasoned Zen Roshi and Professor at the University of San Diego since 1992. Dr. Pirruccello’s research engages philosophies of personal and social liberation. Operating at the intersection of somatic, social, religious and political practice, such philosophies explore means of interrupting debilitating ideologies and identities. She offers courses in Introduction to Philosophy, Asian Philosophy, Critical Comparative Philosophy, and special topics courses in Asian and contemporary continental philosophy. Her research embraces philosophies of liberation in continental and Asian thought, metaphilosophical problems related to globalization, and comparative philosophy. Zach Baughan is a Certified Integral Facilitator, Certified Holistic Lifestyle Coach Level II with Paul Chek, long-time Zen student and practitioner, Tech Entrepreneur, and lifelong student of The Way. We will end the event with a shared Vegan/Vegetarian meal as a community. This event is for novice and expert meditators alike.
