Kannon’s Way: The Dharma Path for Women

Welcome to Kannon’s Way: The Dharma Path for Women at One River Zen, a dedicated initiative to extend refuge and embrace the unique experiences and contributions of women on the spiritual path. This program is designed to empower women through the teachings of Zen Buddhism, offering practical tools for integrating mindfulness into daily life, fostering personal growth, building meaningful connections, and being of service to the community.
