A Zen Buddhist Community in Shelburne, Vermont

Memorial Service for Ti'an Callery

2 sept 2025

Ti'an Holly Callery, one of the founding members of the Vermont Zen Center and its first ordained priest, passed away suddenly in September 2020. She was a devoted member of the Sangha, our landscape designer, an indefatigable worker in the gardens, and our great benefactor.

A fifth year memorial service will be held in Costa Rica during the Tuesday evening sitting to help Ti'an in any transition she continues to make in her life journey. Please join us via Zoom in honoring our dear Dharma sister. The service will begin at 5:00 p.m. in Costa Rica, which is 7:00 p.m. EST.
