"Goat-in-the-Road" is a Place for Buddhist Practice providing retreats in Buddhist

meditation, teaching the Buddha Dharma and offering ceremonies, including A Ceremony for Children Who Have Died.

Yvonne Rand, a lay householder priest, is the resident teacher. Her teachers are Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, Dainin Katagiri Roshi, Venerable Tara Tulku, Maureen Stuart Roshi, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Her home path is Soto Zen, augmented by Theravada and Vajrayana teachings.

The Ceremony for Children Who Have Died (Jizo, Jizo Ceremony, Gizo, mizuko kuyo) offers an opportunity to address issues such as abortion, SIDS, miscarriage, stillbirth, death after birth, life-threatening illnesses, death and dying, loss, grief, and grieving.

The expression of Buddhist practice is encouraged through classes at The Yoga Room, gardening, Awake: Art and Buddhism, and is supported by the Callipeplon Society.
