Our monk in northeast Georgia, Shawn Hitsuhi Mitzel, will be giving his first Introduction to Zen Practice at his new dojo at the Black Sheep Restaurant in Blue Ridge, Georgia. In the tradition of Homeless Kodo, Shawn will also be doing pop-up dojos in art galleries and other spaces in the area to everyone who is interested in the Way. This kind of resourcefulness and initiative is the future of the Deshimaru lineage in America.
