April intro event & some news

Just a quick reminder of the introductory evening being held this Wednesday (see "When & Where" for map etc). Please do feel free to come along even if you've been before - arrival is 7.00ish for a 7.15 start. We'll have about an hour's introductory session before joining the others for one period of zazen (seated meditation) followed tea & a talk on Zen practice that I'll be giving. Hope to see you there.

In other news - I've recently come back from a week's meditation retreat with my teacher, Keizan Scott Sensei, during which he asked me to start taking on more responsibilities to supervise others' Zen practice. So, starting this week, I'll be offering one-on-one interviews during zazen in which we can discuss your individual practice. Interviews will be at least monthly, and there'll be no additional charge for them (donations to the group always welcome in the Big Brown Box of course!). Note: I will not be offering koan instruction.

If you'd like to take advantage of these interviews, please come along on to zazen on the third Wednesday of each month (interviews won't be offered to folk on their very first visit) and put you name on the list that will be out before zazen.
