OUR ROOTS

​

Karma House is the vision of Sokuzan, the founding abbot of Sokukoji Buddhist monastery.

 

He graduated from Battle Creek Central High School in 1959 and joined United States Marine Corps in an attempt to work with his own negativity and emotions.

 

Looking back, he wished he could have walked out of the high school and into a different kind of community in which he could fundamentally examine his own mind through movement, the arts, meditation, and other awareness practices.

 

He desires that all people from all backgrounds have a safe place where they can work with thoughts and emotions.

​

There have been countless volunteers over the years that have supported the renovation Meyer's Toy World into Karma House and it's current vision and mission. This would not have been possible without them.
