Promoting Wellness in Body, Mind and Spirit, January – March 2024

The Tallahassee Chan Center plans to host a series of single topic presentations from January – March on how Chan (Zen) principles apply to various health-oriented activities of our lives: nutrition, exercise and different forms of spiritually nourishing self-expression. People often resolve, at the start of a new year, to pay greater attention to their physical, emotional and spiritual health and this series of presentations is intended to support sharing our experiences and knowledge with others.

Our bodies are the form through which we experience and operate in the world, the concrete functioning of our mind.  We need to take responsibility for the body and maintain it in a reasonable state of health just as we take responsibility for the mind through the practice of Chan meditation and cultivation.
