KC KyoZen Gerpheide is a senior Zen student of Genpo Roshi, who is the founder of Kanzeon Sangha in Salt Lake City and visionary leader of Big Mind. In 2005, she received ordination as a Zen monk (Shukke Tokudo). She is a national instructor as well as clinical worker in physical therapy and a past recipient of Utah Physical Therapist of the Year.

By incorporating Big Mind into our physical practice we begin to have a further understanding of not only our mind but, the connection between our body and mind, furthering us into exploration.

I am doing Big Mind/Big Heart work because I believe it supports a positive global change in conciousness that begins with oneself. If we know ourself better, what motivates us, what makes us respond like we do, then perhaps we can move into relationships with others and oneself with a more open heart. The goal of Big Mind/Big Heart is not to change who we are but to illuminate the part of oneself that has not been awakened. In so doing we are able to be fully human, fully engaged and living a more fulfilled life.
