The Traveler’s Intentions Retreat

On March 13th & 14th 2010, Daniel Doen Silberberg Sensei will be leading a retreat, The Traveler’s Intentions. Participants will experience the freedom and joy that comes from approaching life as a traveler.  This retreat is being held in Park City, Utah, and is open to the public as well as Lost Coin students. Doen Sensei encourages non-members to attend.   Doen Sensei will be interacting directly and often with the participants and will provide plenty of opportunity through meditation, group processes and talks, to really look closely at beliefs, perceptions, attitudes, and habits which create barriers for us.

Saturday, we’ll begin at 9:30 a.m. and end at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, we’ll begin at 9:30 a.m. and end at 1:30 p.m

Random House To Publish German Edition Of Wonderland

When Doen Sensei’s Wonderland:  The Zen of Alice was first published in October, it received an enthusiastic welcome–many readers who came to book signings were turned away because booksellers had not anticipated how heavy the demand would be (one store sold more than 50 copies in less than an hour).  Just four months later, the book is drawing more and more new readers.  Wonderland currently ranks number 15 in Amazon’s “Zen Philosophy” category and number 26 in the vast, general “Zen” category.

Wonderland’s success has been so impressive that Random House will be publishing a German version in the near future.  We’ll keep you updated on other new versions as they’re announced.  Congratulations, Sensei, and bring on your next book!

Hello, San Francisco

San Francisco

What do Alice in Wonderland, The Blue Cliff Record, San Francisco, and Kill Bill have in common?  Daniel Doen Silberberg Sensei, who has recently moved to San Francisco and will be holding the SF group’s first meeting next week.

On December 16th, Doen Sensei will hold an introductory class for anyone who is interested in Lost Coin’s unique blend of Zen, the Fourth Way, science, art, technology, and much more.  Doen Sensei is known for his accessible, humorous, and profound teaching style, and his newly-established San Francisco group is growing quickly.

If you’re in the Bay area, please stop by.  The meeting will be on December 16, 2009, from 6:00-7:00 p.m. at 77 Park Hill Avenue, near Buena Vista Park. There is no charge, and please feel free to bring a friend or friends.

If you’ve read Doen’s new book, Wonderland:  The Zen of Alice, you’ve already had a taste of Doen’s style. This is your chance to journey down the rabbit hole with him in person, without having to travel to Salt Lake City, Germany, Florida, England, or any of the other places where Lost Coin has a strong presence.

We hope to see you there.  If you can’t make it to the December 16th meeting, please contact us at contact@lostcoinzen.com, and we’ll let you know when the next meeting will be.
