SoKai Vogt

SoKai (she/her) has been a spiritual seeker as long as she can remember, through Lutheran Catechism, Pagan studies, Feminist spirituality and Buddhism.  She has been studying Buddhism intensely since 2007, when she received the precepts from Thich Nhat Hanh and has studied with multiple Vipassana and Thai Forest teachers.   She is currently studying with Sensei Shun’E Ulrike Greenway in the Zen tradition and received the precepts with the Jukai ceremony February 7, 2024.

Kanshin Erica Grevemeyer

Rev. Kanshin Erica Grevemeyer (she) is a white, cis-gender female novice Zen priest, ordained by Rev. angel Kyodo williams, Roshi in 2013. She has trained as a Buddhist chaplain at Upaya Zen Center with Roshi Joan Halifax. She has been the practice leader and Zen Change Coach in the online program 27days of Change and was a long time practice leader of the newDharma Community in Berkeley, CA. She currently co-holds the Zen practice group at San Quentin State Prison and has been teaching yoga to seniors for more than a decade.
      Kanshin’s practice has always been about coming back to being human. She has her feet on the ground, is practical & pragmatic, and is more interested in meeting you where you are than in getting you to contort yourself into something you are not. She is committed to and consistently enriched by her students and others in her practice communities.  Out of a deep commitment to equity and inclusion, she works with students of all ages, shapes and abilities including seniors, women in recovery, and incarcerated men.   She fell in love with the Heart Sutra while engaged in extended sutra copying practice.
