Growing up Janice learned from a very young age to regularly sit quietly for hours at a time with family in boats in the middle of nature. Over the years, this led to her developing a natural Shinto-like Zen practice immersed in nature and the elements with a variety of activities that are family oriented.
In her early 40's, Janice began a more serious pursuit of her practice under the informal Zen guidance of Dosen, a Soto Zen priest. Practicing misogi and kototama, together they share a flowing Zen perspective of the pure Light, love, courage and peace of the Universe.
Today, Janice teaches - like a monastic - how to have a relationship with the pure Light, Love, Courage and Peace of the Universe based on the Universe being our greatest teacher and friend and following a naturally flowing Zen Path of Pure Light. Monastic rule for monastics. Family rule for family and friends.
The pure flowing clear Light of the Universe is our Light.
The Universe As Our Teacher
Practice - Our Prayer For World Peace.
The Pure Flowing Clear Light of the Universe is our Light.
