The First Zenn Diagram

This was just a first sketch — stream of consciousness — as I unpacked a new idea of “Feminine Zen” and how that might be different from the familiar masculine expression of Zen, which has been expressed through a long patriarchal lineage.

The words “Feminine Zen” came to me one morning in October 2023. I felt their aliveness with curiosity. They inspired this diagram, which catalyzed a whole series of Zenn Diagrams. They also inspired a series of writings and deep inquiry I plan to share someday. If you are interested in this topic, let me know.
