Flurina Niggli-Jackson, an assistant Zen teacher, will lead a new Zen group every Wednesday starting July 23, from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Dharma Center in Garberville. She practiced Zen in Germany under Willigis Jäger Koun Roshi for many years.
Flurina will offer individual interviews, called Dokusan, and guide each participant in his/her practice.

There is no charge for the evening, donations for the room are welcome. As participation increases, the practice schedule will expand.
