Boulder Mountain Zendo changes name to Two Arrows Zen Center (TAZ)
Boulder Mountain Zendo, formed in Torrey, Utah in 2007 and expanding to Salt Lake’s ArtSpace on Pierpont in 2010, was named after the mountain in Wayne County.
This month, the name is changing to Two Arrows Zen Center (TAZ). The name comes from a koan about “two arrows meeting in mid-air,” indicating the relationship of absolute and relative views. The change was decided upon to eliminate the misperception by many that the center was based out of Boulder, Colorado.
“Everything else remains the same,” says Musho Hamilton Sensei, who cofounded the group with her husband, former Utah Supreme Court Chief Justice Michael Mugaku Zimmerman Sensei: “—morning sits, the occasional day of Zen, and three weeklong intensive retreats each year.”
Two Arrows Zen Center (TAZ), Artspace Building, 230 So. 500 West, in downtown Salt Lake City. (Website is still http://BoulderMountainZendo.org.)

The Cosmic Spiral’s newest incarnation
Cosmic has redesigned its center room as a gallery for art and sound, featuring local artists, musicians and craftspeople. It also serves as a gathering place for classes and groups. You’ll now find organic/ wild-crafted bulk herbs by the ounce, handmade candles and jewelry, dreamcatchers, and local mineral/crystal specimens. Services now include: therapeutic massage, cranio-sacral therapy, acupressure, energy readings and treatments, intuitive oracle readings, astrology readings and psychic portraits.
