Please note:

1. Winter Zendo: we have begun the use of 1st floor of Merton bookshed/retreat as our winter zendo. there are regular chairs, meditation chairs, zafus, and kneelers available for your use. It is open to anyone to visit at any time. Rokpa, our Border Collie, might bark you a greeting, but is sooo friendly and will either engage you in play, or, sit with you in silence. (He’s like that!)

2. You can call (236-6808) and there will be a recording if an event needs to be cancelled. Or see website, Today at Meetingbrook, http://meetingbrook.blogspot.com/ for any change/elaboration of schedule for that day.
