Reirin Gumbel

Reirin Seisho Alheidis Gumbel has been a resident at SFZC since 2003, was ordained as a Soto Zen priest by Furyu Nancy Schroeder, and was head monk for the Spring practice period in 2012. Prior to her residency at Green Gulch she lived in Santa Cruz with her two daughters, where she owned a fiber arts business, The Golden Fleece. Reirin is excited to have the opportunity to bridge Zen practice and Fiber Arts education, which she feels are intimately connected.
