On January 4, 2004 The San Francisco Chronicle reported, "Apart from its public programs, the Awake: Art, Buddhism and the Dimensions of Consciousness project recently organized a series of eight invitation-only long-weekend conferences for some 30 arts curators and directors of visual and performing arts institutions from all over the United States, but mostly from the West Coast. Held every few months between April 2001 and February 2003 at the Green Gulch Farm Zen Center in Marin County, these meetings explored the relationship between Buddhist meditation and contemporary art."
