New Years retreat

Applications are open for our New Year's retreat, which will be led by Kansan Sensei this year. Jukai following the stroke of midnight is a great way to see in the New Year. We start with dinner on 29 December and finish with brunch on New Year's day. Please apply online by 16 December. As usual, this special retreat is restricted to members who have already attended sesshin at Zengården.
