Saturday Community (Continuing the thread...talk by Michael 'Zenmen' McCulloch) - ON SITE (in Zendo)

Continuing the thread from last Saturday, talk will be given by Michael Zenmen (前面) McCulloch, a student of Jakusho Kwong-roshi, following 10:30-11:00 am zazen.

Michael has been a part of the Pine Street Clinic since 1982. He is very interested in the medical applications of meditation practice, in particular how Zen can become a stronger part of our everyday culture. Michael received Jukai (taking of the vows to practice) from Kwong-roshi in 2019, was given the dharma name Zenmen which means “Reality Front Face,” and has attended many sesshins. He served as Shuso (Head Student) leading the 30-day intensive practice period in the winter of 2025 and has been President of the SMZC Board of Trustees since 2026. He lives with his wife Michele in Point Reyes Station, California.
