Rev. Keido Jeromy Thotland

Rev. Keidō Jeromy Thotland is an Associate Teacher and Board member of Hokyoji Zen Practice Community. He was ordained in 2019 and received Dharma transmission from Ted O’Toole in 2024.

His path has taken him through the US Navy, retail, labor union work, and research. Along with family and sangha life, these experiences continue to remind him of the many ways of being in the world. His practice centers on the intersection of the everydayness of life and the everydayness of Zen, and on the wonder that each moment holds.

Born and raised in Minneapolis, Keidō now lives in Caledonia with his spouse, Andrea.
