Remembering Dana ~ Christine Heal

I fondly remember Dana Starry for being one of the earliest members of the Vancouver Soto Zen group, who dedicatedly offered her own place in Kitsilano for others to meditate in the 70's and early 80's. Through Dana's diligence and generosity with her own practice, I saw numerous spiritual seekers through those years , find some direction, respite and sanctuary in facing the tribulations of their own difficulties in life. Thank you Dana, from just one of those seekers, who was lucky enough to partake in the compassion, love and wisdom that you so freely offered over those years of practice. ~ Howard Mitchell
