This month, the New York Zen Center’s dedication to service and mission to wholeheartedly caring for others is reaching three major European cities!

The adventure begins in Dublin where Chodo and Koshin are distinguished presenters at Kaleidoscope 17: International Palliative Care Conference.

They will be offering a morning workshop on Friday, May 16th about contemplative care and giving the closing plenary keynote address on Saturday, May 17th. If you would like to watch the keynote address, please register here. 

From Dublin, Koshin and Chodo will travel to London to teach a full day workshop on contemplative medicine.

They are being welcomed back by the administrative leadership of St. Christopher’s Hospice to teach team leaders, clinicians, and staff about wholehearted care. 

Amsterdam is the next stop on this journey.

Chodo and Koshin’s time in the Netherlands will begin in Nijmegen. The Nijmegen Zen Center is hosting a screening of a Dutch documentary film, “In the Flow of 10,000 Things,” featuring Chodo and Koshin teaching in Japan and carepartnering in New York City.

The following day Koshin and Chodo, along with Barbara Doeleman, will lead a retreat about The Power of Contemplative Medicine for over forty healthcare professionals.

The morning of Saturday, May 24th will be spent with Buddhist Chaplaincy students at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and in the afternoon Chodo and Koshin will lead a mini sesshin at the Amsterdam Zen Center. 

Please read below for the full list of events and dates with links to register.

NYZC’s guiding teachers embark on this wonderful trip knowing that none of it is possible without your love, care and support. We will be sharing more from Chodo and Koshin’s travels all along the way on Koshin Sensei's instagram!
