This video features Rev. Jana Drakka and her teacher, Blanche Hartman, former co-abbess at San Francisco Zen Center, sewing Jana's transmission robes. Two of Jana's students, Brett and Albert (the videographer), are learning to sew with Blanche and Jana in preparation for Jukai. In this segment, Blanche sings "The More We Get Together." She also talks about the variety of sewing stitches and how we reflect who we are in our sewing.
