## Resource

Chris Preist , co-director of Bristol Zen Dojo and author of Zen Streams , returns to talks with J about the intersection of zen and yoga. They discuss spiritual practice vs performance, learning rules through experience, connection between sound and spirit, feeling with intention, textual meanings, learning objectives, professionalization and marketing, actualizing non-duality, understanding emptiness, spacious luminosity, digital technology, freshness of words, and the discipline needed to retain authenticity in a capitalistic world.
