This is an online introductory class for people who are working with the fierce teachers of chronic illness or chronic pain. In this six-part interactive class we will share our stories and explore practices that may be useful on the journey. There will also be an ongoing group for those who have taken this series before.
Zenshin Florence Caplow, who will be teaching the class, has "danced" with auto-immune illness for the last two decades, including rheumatoid arthritis. She is also a Zen priest and teacher, co-author of Tend to Your Spirit: Mindful Living with Chronic Illness (available online or from your local bookstore), and a Unitarian Universalist minister.
Optional readings will be shared during the class. To prepare, students may wish to read Tend to Your Spirit: Mindful Living with Chronic Illness, Turning Suffering Inside Out by Darlene Cohen (available through the SFZC Online Store), or Zenshin Florence Caplow’s essay "Dancing in the Dark Fields" as well as listening to her Dharma talk at City Center on this subject.
