I write CMOON for people who want to find a fighting spirit and the ability to stay calm amidst chaos.
My name is Cristina Moon and I’m a Zen priest living at Daihonzan Chozen-ji in Hawaiʻi.
Before I became a monk, I used to run national and global campaigns for social change and became an expert on meditation technology while studying business at Stanford University. These days, I’m mostly teaching, writing, and training—in meditation, Chado (The Way of Tea), Kendo (The Way of the Sword), and ceramics.
Please consider subscribing, hearting posts that you like and sharing my writing with your friends. I send out free posts about once a week, but you can also become a paid subscriber to receive my DEAR ZEN advice column and receive access to online events like interviews and fireside chats with some of my favorite people.
If you would like a paid subscription but the cost is beyond your reach, please just email me at hello@cristinamoon.com and I’ll gift you a free subscription.
Thank you!
