Inner work in Zen practice: Clarifying self and non-self

Peg Syverson, Instructor

Inner work is relational. The various aspects of our conditioning that create suffering for ourselves and others are the very ground of cultivating true liberation. To work with those aspects directly is to develop wholesome relationships among them and with them, so that the whole system can function freely and beneficially. If you develop the skills and awareness needed to work with conditioning that constrains and hinders you, you can also bring those skills and awareness into your relationships with others: children, partners, family, co-workers, neighbors, friends, creating more spaciousness, ease, and compassion in and through those relationships. This process, in turn, benefits the whole world. Because it is very challenging to work in this way, some support and guidance is usually helpful. This class is intended to introduce the fundamental principles and methods for this work in a supportive environment.
