Circle of Instructors
The Circle of Instructors are senior students who teach Introduction to Zen Practice Workshops and Aspects of Zen Practice Workshops, provide brief instruction to newcomers and serve as monitors in the zendo. These students have been at GPZC for a number of years and can help orient newcomers and answer logistical questions about procedures. They do not provide individual practice guidance to students and refer the student to dokusan (face to face instruction) for those kinds of questions.
