What Is Big Mind?
Big Mind is the name given, by Genpo Merzel, Roshi, to a special new way to discover, experience and appreciate your life. It’s also a good way of working out the kinks, the stuck places, and the unhealthy patterns that keep us down. Life is complex, and the inner self is an exquisite network of the psychological and the spiritual. Understanding it well leads to a better life.
Tickets for this event will be available at the door. |

Big Mind is a method of self investigation that is straightforward and effective, and it will open your heart and mind to the fullness and richness of life. It’s a new combination of tools, a blend of western psychology, and the non-dual wisdom traditions passed on to us, and it’s been developed for the express purpose of helping us to better understand the mind and the nature of human life.
“Stop wasting your time. Ask the big questions” (Genpo Roshi to one of his students in 1971). |

You won’t need previous experience. Big Mind workshops and retreats are lively, engaging, thoughtful and profound. Everyone gets to have their say, as we try on intriguing new perspectives, see what they tell us, and share our insights. Genpo Roshi leads the process, like only a Zen Master can, with humor, wisdom, compassion and deep sincerity.
Big Mind is completely non threatening, safe and fun for young and old. You don’t have to know anything about psychology or Zen. You only need a burning desire to understand life. |
