When Vickie Cumberland attended her first formal Zen retreat five years ago, she drove eight hours from Kansas City to Cincinnati to sit with a fledging group that would later become the Dewdrop Sangha, an affiliate of the Hazy Moon. Since then, she has practiced at the Hazy Moon and at retreats in Ohio, Wisconsin, Washington DC, and at her practice home, the Rime Buddhist Center in Kansas City. In January, she returned to the Hazy Moon with family members and sangha to take Jukai from Maezen Sensei, receiving the dharma name Reiju, which means “spiritual gift.”
