After years of searching through meditation, Taoism, psychology and spiritual practice, Stef Onryu Mandirola found something unexpected in the Zenways Sangha: a sense of coming home. In this deeply personal reflection, she shares how life’s greatest challenges became the gateway to discovering a path of practice, compassion and belonging. Rather than offering certainty, Zen has given her something far more enduring—a way to meet life as it is, supported by teacher, Sangha and the Dharma.
