Listen "Paths of Practice with Yoni Ackerman"
Episode Synopsis
Yoni Ackerman received lay ordination from the Berkeley Zen Center in 2022.
We talk about Yoni’s journey into becoming a physical therapist, growing up in a Reform Jewish household, just being yourself in zazen, the stink of zen, and looking locally to find your sangha.
If you're curious and wish to learn more about practice at the Berkeley Zen Center, feel free to reach out to Yoni through his email: jonathan dot d dot ackerman at gmail dot com.
