This weekly meditation group is specifically oriented toward the mental health practitioner. Each session
begins with a period of zazen [sitting meditation], followed by discussion and experiential group supervision
that emphasizes processing treatment dynamics as they emerge in the group process.

The atmosphere is supportive and collaborative. Drawing from Zen and Psychoanalytic principles, this group
is open to all mental health practitioners who are interested in a creative integrative approach that is
consistent with contemplative practice in relation to sound psychoanalytic theory and technique.
