The Board has now approved moving forward with recruiting one or more Adjunct Teachers. The GBZC membership invites applications from authorized Zen teachers to offer instruction within our sangha-led community.

The title “Adjunct Teachers” reflects the idea that teaching positions at GBZC support the sangha’s practice life but do not hold governance authority within the organization. Their primary role is to teach meditation practice, forms, traditions, and Dharma concepts. This is the only formal teaching position at GBZC. Please review this description (pdf version) for more details.

Those who meet the criteria listed in the job description and are interested in applying should contact the board at board@bostonzen.org. Please include a description of your teaching qualifications and experience.

Of course we are all aging, and at the same pace! Yet the reality of this often becomes more noticeable at midlife or later. This group is for anyone who wants to explore with others how we may be fully present in this process, drawing on resources from the Zen tradition. 

Beginning March 17, 2026 will be discussing Advice for Future Corpses (and Those Who Love Them) by Sallie Tisdale on the third Tuesday of every month, 9-10 am. For more information, the schedule, and the zoom link, see this instructions document.

Note: Thesaurus.com suggests synonyms for “aging” that include “maturing,” “fermenting,” “mellowing,” “crumbling,” and “developing”! Take your pick, or embrace them all!
