- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 01 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Wed, 01 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: **Update - the first session will start on Wednesday, November 12 - same time and place.**

Join us for a six-month exploration of Opening the Hand of Thought by Kosho Uchiyama, an introduction to Zen Buddhist practice.

As Jisho Warner writes in the preface, this book “goes directly to the heart of Zen practice, showing how Zen Buddhism can be a deep and life-sustaining activity. Uchiyama looks at what a person is, what a self is, how to develop a true self not separate from all things, one that can settle in peace in the midst of life.”

We will meet on the first Wednesday of each month*, November through April, from 6:30–8:00 PM. Each session will cover 1–2 chapters (20–40 pages), with guiding questions for reflection and discussion provided a week in advance.

All are welcome, UU Wausau members, friends, and neighbors in the wider community (space for 10 participants).
