Contemplative
Practice for Lawyers:
Zen, Yoga and Law Practice
with Susan B. Jordan and Mary Mocine
May 18–23
Contemplative practices such as meditation and yoga help to
bring awareness to our lives as lawyers. When we pay attention
gently, without judgment, to our whole experience, we can respond
from a grounded place. As lawyers, we live much in our minds,
forgetting the teachings of our bodies and breath. We will explore
meditation, yoga, and other contemplative practices that help
us remain grounded in our actual experience. In discussions
we will explore our work lives and what contemplative practices
bring to them. There will be time for individual meetings with
the leaders as well as plenty of time for enjoying Tassajara.
Eight hours MCLE credit: two stress reduction, three law practice
management, and three ethics.

Mocine is a Zen priest, ordained by Sojun Mel Weitsman in 1994.

for lawyers.
