Ensō Verde will be enriched by the presence of resident Elder Teachers, individuals who will bring a lifetime of contemplative practice and wisdom to the community. These teachers promise to offer invaluable guidance and support, fostering a deep sense of peace and shared purpose. They will contribute to the community’s contemplative foundation through teachings, classes, and retreats and collaboration with the San Francisco Zen Center. By sharing their experience, they will cultivate an environment that invites all to explore their own paths of spiritual growth and find deeper meaning in their lives. We’ve reserved ten residences for these exceptional individuals and are actively seeking more Elder Teachers from diverse backgrounds to further enhance the richness and depth of Ensō Verde.
