“You have to show patience and respect, come in from the side, sit a while and wait to be invited in.”
Tyson Yunkaporta, Sand Talk (pg.29)
Coming from the side
We look forward to coming together for our Study Group #2 where we will continue our exploration of Tyson Yunkaporta’s Sand Talk.
Here are some questions to help open our discussion this week. Please take these as a starting point and feel welcome to raise your own questions or ideas.
- What is your experience of ‘us-two’?
- How have you experienced ‘coming from the side’ in your own life?
- How might ‘us-two’ and ‘coming from the side’ help us to deepen our exploration of ‘You are welcome here’?
- How are you experiencing and exploring the movements between occupying and inhabiting; owning and belonging?
Remember you can always add your contributions to this discussion in the comments below.
When: Sunday 5th July 2020, 4-5:15 pm AEST via zoom (please see your email for ZOOM details).
What we will do: Each fortnight we will continue our exploration of Sand Talk.
Schedule: Our time/space together will flow a little differently to the last gathering. We invite you to sit zazen before gathering online. This will help to provide a wide open space for our discussions.
3:20 – 3:50pm | Offline zazen in place
3:50 – 4:00pm | Online space opens (cup of tea welcome!)
4:00 – 5:10pm | Main Gathering
5:10 – 5:20pm | Closing & Notices
5:20 – 5:35pm | Informal social time.
See you Sunday!

From Dogen: “At the moment of giving birth to a child, is the mother separate from the child? You should study not only that you become a mother when your child is born, but also that you become a child.”
