Dear Friends,

I would like to remind and invite you all to participate in our month-long intensive happening from Saturday, April 17th to Sunday, May 16th (concluding with our spring retreat.) This is an opportunity for us to join together in a committed month of sitting every day, either at the Center or somewhere in the extended "center" (anywhere in the universe).

During these four weeks we will be sitting every day at the Center. (Please check-out our online calendar by clicking here.) There will be sitting in the morning (Monday - Friday) and evening (Monday - Thursday), as well as extended Saturday sitting and regular Sunday sessions. We will also have special classes on Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons after sitting. Please see the complete schedule below.

Please join us during this period by committing to sit every day for at least 10 to 60 minutes a day. Please make a commitment to this month-long period and to daily sitting either personally or, if it will help, please commit by replying to me at my email address (lwchristensen@comcast.net).

This period of a concentrated practice has been a part of community life since the time of the Buddha. We are very glad to present this as a support to advance our practice together.

Peace and Love,

Larry
