Summer Schedule: July – Mid-September 2010
Weekly Schedule
Wednesday, 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm Evening Zazen
Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the scheduled meeting times.
During the summer we reduce our schedule to a once-a-week meeting on Wednesday nights. The reduced schedule lasts until mid-September, when the full schedule will resume. We will have one occasion for a longer sit this summer, which yet remains to be determined and which will be announced here as well as by an email update.
Have a great summer!
