My name is Dean. I am an ordained Zen monk, right now I am traveling and visiting different monasteries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I recently decided that I want to travel and meet new people and how that is important to me.

Interests

I like movies, both good and bad. :) and I like good coffee.

Music, Movies, and Books

Love all music, however, I have a preference for the 80's; Morrisey and the Smiths are my favorite. I like science fiction books and movies the most.

Teach, Learn, Share

As being a Zen monk I can offer Zen meditation instruction. I also am a facilitator of a practice called circling, which has been referred to as an intersubjective meditation; however, it is basically a way of getting someone's world so they have an experience of being true my seen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer my full attention and presence to whatever the moment calls forth. :)
