This coming Sunday at Windhorse we’ll be having a One-Day Zen Retreat (zazenkai), with a sesshin-like schedule, teisho and dokusan (Sunya only; Lawson will be out of town).
People can participate for the whole of it, or just for part. Some people will be staying overnight on Saturday, to make it easier to do the early-morning section.
Let us know if you'd like to do that, and if you'll be here for breakfast or lunch, so that we can plan accordingly.
If anyone can help out before or after this event, great! The more people who lend a hand, the easier it is to have these sorts of sittings on a regular basis.
You will find the schedule below.
