Introduction to Zen Practice

 

Reverend Reirin Alheidis Gumbel, Resident Priest at the Milwaukee Zen Center, will introduce guests to the art of ZAZEN, or Silent Illumination, as taught in Soto Zen. After a brief presentation on basic Mahayana Buddhist tenets, she will guide you in a meditation, which will end with a chant.

About the Exhibition: WAM’s exhibition is the first comprehensive retrospective of her work. It begins with black-and-white images made for the 1929 Riverside High School yearbook. The exhibition includes early social realism for the Work Progress Administration (WPA), textile designs, and numerous still lifes. Most of the exhibition features Grotenrath’s invention of a unique, personal art, for which she is known and remembered.
