SUMMARY:In-Person Dharma Talk: Eli Brown-Stevenson
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday evening\, April 15th\, Eli Brown-Stevenson will give a Way Seeking Mind talk followed by a discussion. \nGreeting the world with a warm bow—Rev. So On Eli Brown-Stevenson is a Soto Zen priest and the Director of Inclusion and Belonging at San Francisco Zen Center. His work integrates Zen practice with DEIA principles\, emphasizing how both traditions involve studying the conditioned self\, examining harm\, and cultivating belonging—internally and externally. Eli is especially committed to fostering direct\, embodied engagement with inclusion\, moving beyond aspirational ideals toward grounded\, relational practice.\n\nHe is particularly inspired by how Zen practice reinvigorates and expresses our shared humanity\, offering clarity and compassion in an ever-changing\, technological world. Rather than separating inner transformation from social responsibility\, Eli explores how the inner sense of belonging cultivated through Zen relates to the external realities of inclusion and exclusion.\n\nEli received priest ordination from Rinso Ed Sattizahn in 2019 and has trained at all three of SFZC’s temples. He currently resides at City Center with his daughter\, Maya. For over half a decade\, he has brought mindfulness practice to grade school classrooms and BIPOC youth communities\, and he is one of the guiding facilitators for Young Urban Zen program at SFZC.\nPlease join us via Zoom: \nClicking this link will enable you to join the meeting without entering a password: \nhttps://zoom.us/j/6067111411?pwd=aWtVNWdSZ2RIRkdQUEM5eHV5Wkhkdz09 \nOr you may join by entering in the meeting id and password manually: \nMeeting ID: 606 711 1411\nPasscode: 100088\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,6067111411#\,\,\,\,\,\,0#\,\,100088# \nDuring the discussion please mute yourself if you are in a noisy area\, and remember to unmute yourself if you are speaking.

SUMMARY:Zen Work Lab - Talk about Zen\, Work and AI
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the first in a series of monthly discussions about Zen and work.  \nFree admission\, no need to register  \nWho’s in the Kitchen? Zen\, Work\, and AI Slop\nYou’ve all seen the LinkedIn post that performs insight without containing any. In 1237\, Dogen wrote instructions for the monastery cook\, arguing that how you prepare a meal is inseparable from your responsibility to the people eating it. Eight centuries later\, AI gives us the ability to produce work that looks like care without any care having occurred. \nPhilippe Alexis will use Dogen to explore how AI can make us careless. He has been practicing Zen mediation and yoga for the past 30 years. He is on the board of Kannon Do. Professionally\, he is the CEO of nodiamonds.com and is currently building an AI-powered UX Audit called UXguru.  \nSchedule: \n6:30 Intro to meditation \n6:45 Short sitting \n7:00 Talk \n7:30 Discussion \n8:00 Wrap up
