Joe Hall

Joseph W Hall is a resident teacher at Jikoji Zen Center, currently serving as Tanto, practice leader.  His energy is enthusiastically focused on the nexus between Lay Practice and the Monastic world and he is fascinated by the ways in which we interpret the world and the means by which physical motion trains the mind. He wakes up in the morning excited to witness the ongoing birth of American Zen. His favorite words are Sublime, Exquisite, and Ravissant.

Your generosity supports our teaching and meditation programs, helps us renovate and maintain our buildings and grounds, and lets us extend our teachings and offerings to the world beyond our Santa Cruz Mountains temple as we make a growing number of events available to our expanding online Sangha.
