Myogan Djinn Gallagher is the resident priest and teacher at Black Mountain Zen Centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Djinn started practicing in 1993, meeting her teacher Ryushin Paul Haller in 2003. Her intention to train as a priest led her to residential practice at San Francisco Zen Centre where she lived from 2007 until 2016, first in the monastery, Tassajara, and then in the urban temple in San Francisco. Ordained as a priest by Ryushin in 2013, she completed her training with a three-month practice period as “shuso” (head monk) in Tassajara in the autumn of 2015. She returned to Ireland in late 2016 and has been practicing at Black Mountain Zen Centre since January 2017. She joined our Zoom Zendo one morning (evening in Belfast, Northern Ireland) and graciously gave a dharma talk.
