Reminder: Tuesday discussion ... plus Sept 20 half-day retreat

Short version: click here to RSVP for our half day practice event, Sat Sept 20.

Hi there —

Tomorrow, September 2, practice will include a Dharma Talk and group discussion after a shorter sitting period. The topic tomorrow is: An Introduction to Zen Koans.

The practice times and duration otherwise are the same as usual:

• Practice: Tuesdays at 9:00am Pacific (12pm Eastern; 18:00 CEST). The duration varies slightly, up to 45 minutes. (On Zoom here)

• You can find the complete schedule & entries to copy to your calendar at https://www.tczen.org/schedule 

RSVP for Half-Day Retreat, September 20

Retreats deepen our individual practice and build engaged and compassionate energy that we take into the world.

Here are details of the upcoming retreat:

• Saturday, Sept 20, 9am-12pm Pacific (12-3p Eastern; 6-9p CEST) at the same Zoom link as regular practice (TZC Zoom link)

• We will alternate sitting & walking practice, plus koan dialogues (optional)

• I recommend to attend the full 3 hours, although you may come late or leave early as needed

• Please RSVP by Tues Sept 16, so I can plan the schedule and attendance

Two other notes for retreats:

• No special preparation is required, although you might give extra consideration on how to sit comfortably and quietly (more here)

• Registration asks for acceptance of a participation agreement (aka waiver). If you have any questions about that, please ask.

With thanks for your practice!

— Chris
