A weekend workshop to dive into meditation and somatic movement led by Soto Zen Priest Chuck Hutchcraft & Somatic Movement Practitioner Amanda Graham.

About the Teachers:

Chuck Hutchcraft is a Soto Zen priest, licensed clinical social worker, and psychotherapist. His teaching and therapy practice are informed by Buddhist and Western psychologies and somatic awareness. Chuck began Zen practice in 1991 and was ordained in the Katigiri Roshi lineage in 2005 by Sojun Diane Martin, guiding teacher of the Udumbara Zen Center in Evanston, IL. He received dharma transmission in the Kobun Chino lineage from Sensei Dean Williams in 2019. Chuck is guiding teacher of grassroots Zen and mindfulness communities in northern and central Illinois. He is certified as a mindfulness teacher by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach.

Blending meditation and somatic practices, Amanda Graham has been a practitioner of zen and yoga for ten years. Certified Yoga Teacher through Prajna Yoga, she colorfully weaves traditional asanas with Feldenkrais and Hanna Somatics. Many of these practices are floor based to allow the body to sense and feel into its present moment experience. She is also the Retreat Manager at Jikoji Zen Center and appreciates the simple living with sangha in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
