If a class is full – there will be a waitlist option.
We do consider waitlists when planning the next cycle of classes or if there is enough interest to repeat the class that cycle. Interested in teaching at the co-op? Please contact us at [email protected]
The Art of Zen
The Art of Zen
Join Zen practitioner, Daishin McCabe for guided meditation, Zen calligraphy demonstration, and a walking tour of his art on display.
Daishin’s art is on display through the month of November at the co-op.
Instructor
Eric Daishin McCabe was first inspired to write Zen Calligraphy when he saw a demonstration by a Japanese Rinzai Zen Master, Fukushima Keido Roshi, at Bucknell University in 1993. His first teacher of calligraphy is Mariko Tachihara, a Japanese teacher of English, whom he met while teaching English in Kakogawa, Japan in 1995. Since then he has had the opportunity to study with several calligraphers including Nonin Chowaney of the Nebraska Zen Center and Kaz Tanahashi.
