Jeremy Ryōkan Woodcock Sensei – Finding Ourselves in Deep Waters: Buddhism. Psychotherapy and the Contemporary World

Jeremy Ryōkan Woodcock Sensei, one of our teachers within Stonewater Zen Sangha, has a new book out.
It is published by Mud Pie Books, a small specialist Buddhist publisher in Oxford in the UK, and also available on Amazon: https://mudpiebooks.com/books-authors/finding-ourselves-in-deep-waters/
“This book offers a transformative set of metaphors that invite the curious general reader, psychotherapists and practitioners of Buddhism to fully inhabit their lives and practice. Case vignettes, stories from the author’s life, poems, and koans are woven together to create a rich brocade. Buddhism and neuroscience are brought into dialogue to illuminate the evanescent nature of self. The challenges of AI and how to be intimate in our digital age are explored. Societal violence, public spaces and debate, disparities of wealth and poverty, and the climate emergency are revealed as Genjo koan – the present and everyday perplexities and riddles of our life.
The book leans towards practitioners but is also very much written with the curious general reader in mind, leading one in deeper with each successive chapter.”
