About Renshin Verkuilen
The author trained as a psychotherapist, practicing for twenty years in various Wisconsin locations. She studied and practiced Zen Buddhism for fifty-five years under a number of teachers. She co-founded the Midwest Soto Zen Community and it publishing arm, Firethroat Press. She is also the author of four books and numerous study guides. Her association with the psychotherapist, David Grove, and his non-interpretative, supposition-free approach to accessing intuitive knowledge, produced two innovative adaptations – Metaphor Awareness and Enhanced Emergent Knowledge – both of which were integral to her counseling therapy and Zen practice.
