The field of practice is everywhere
Taking Action: Your practice in the world
The Zen Peacemaker Order Formation is a 16-month training in contemplative study and engaged social action.
Grounded in the Three Tenets of Not-Knowing, Bearing Witness, and Taking Action, it helps practitioners bring their vows to life in the world as it is.
Each ZPO participant completes their formation with a personal project — an expression of their vow in action.
Some work with prisoners or refugees. Some build local sanghas, create gardens, or facilitate councils in hospitals and schools.
Each project arises from the same seed: a direct response to the suffering we’ve witnessed.
Cohort 4 begins March 6, 2026.
It is an opportunity to study, to serve, and to remember who we are — not separate from the world, but a part of it.
If you feel the call, this is the invitation.
