Zazenkai: Saturday 17 June

Our next Zazenkai - or Zen practice day - will be on Saturday 17 June, from 9.30-4.00pm (quite possibly with a quick one at the pub afterwards...). The venue is unchanged from previous days: Collingtree Village Hall on the High Street, Collingtree Village, NN4 0NQ (just outside Northampton, near to J15 on the M1).

We'll have plenty of zazen, service, samu (a mindful communal work period), lunch, a talk on Zen practice and (optional) one-on-one interviews about your practice.

Zazenkai (trans: "coming together for zazen") is an opportunity to deepen our meditation practice in a way that's not always possible in our daily routine. For some, it's also a welcome opportunity to sit with a group of people - a sangha, or community - that isn't normally available. Please consider joining the Northampton group for this wonderful opportunity to firmly stand in our own shoes!

Our Zazenkai are suitable for both beginners and seasoned practitioners - introductory instruction will be given if you've not sat before, or perhaps just not sat with a StoneWater group. Wear dark-ish (i.e. non-distracting), comfortable clothing, rakusu if you have one.

Suggested donation: £20 (£15 concessions) - all proceeds go to meet costs and to support the Northampton group.
