As part of Tricycle’s new monthly speaker series, Sutherland sits down with Tricycle’s editor-in-chief, James Shaheen, for a virtual conversation on the power of koans and their use (both traditional and innovative) in spiritual practice. Drawing on themes from her new book Through Forests of Every Color: Awakening with Koans, she will also share creative koans drawn from the Western literary tradition and offer guidance for creating koans out of the circumstances of one’s life circumstances.
