Jonáš will be talking about his debut novella Flora, a surrealist story set in a world where ecological disaster is a regular occurrence, depicting a couple who encounter a strange creature while out walking one day. Sára, one member of the couple, projects her unfulfilled maternal desires onto the creature — a being composed of organic and inorganic material — and decides they will live together in an abandoned area being reclaimed by nature
He’ll share about the book and its connections to concepts in our practice like the beginner’s mind. After the talk, stay on the line for a brief discussion about the ABZS Dharma reading club and plans for the rest of the year. Questions can be directed to Sho Ku!
