Jeffrey Maitland | Mind Body Zen | Zen monk, world-renowned Rolfer, and former philosophy professor visits with new book

Ordained Zen monk, world-renowned Rolfer, and former philosophy professor Jeffrey Maitland visits with his book Mind Body Zen: Waking Up to Your Life. Tackling the prevailing misconception that Zen is a philosophy, Maitland provides an in-depth explanation of why Zen is an eminently practical, grounded discipline. Drawing on his Rolfing expertise and years of applied meditation practice, he also offers techniques for healers across many systems and disciplines. Threaded throughout are the insights of Joshu Sasaki Roshi, founder of Mt. Baldy Zen Center, perhaps best known as Leonard Cohen’s teacher, still actively teaching at age 102 but whose work has rarely been published. Maitland's photos will be on display on the south wall of the bookstore starting September 16.
