A daily G+ practice sign-up?

[Kyonin]

Kojip,

This is a very important challenge for us to pick up in the months to come, to provide daily sittings led by our priests. I will do my very best to make things move in that direction.
I am planning to organize extra whole sitting days for people inteterested and my students. One next Spring. Two next Summer.

This is wonderful news!

I'll join the group sittings!

I sit everyday, but I do it really early in the morning. And then there's my noisy computer. I have to put it to sleep to have some silence.

If we launch the group sittings I'll have to make do with the noise.

Thanks, Taigu!

Thanks for bringing this subject to the table again, Kojip. I agree that G+ adds a bit of substance to the forum. I think it also helps when talking about Treeleaf with others. Before, when we used a variety of video conferencing software, people seemed confused by the whole thing.

I'm primarily an evening sitter, and am willing to commit to 9pm EST or 9:30EST daily if that would work for anyone. Of course, there are months where I rotate to night shift but that's beside the point. 10pm is a bit late, as I have to wake up early.

Very excited about the full day sitting idea, and looking forward to participating. I hope they'll be available as recorded versions, for those of us who may not be able to make it on a given day. I'll add a few of the folks on here to my regular sitters circle. I've stopped inviting all folks in the Treeleaf circle awhile ago; most don't sit on G+, so I figured I'd stop harassing them with daily hangout requests.

Gassho,

Great idea Kojip,I believe you, Shawn and myself are in the same time zone...maybe that would be a way to organize sitting times? Either way I am interested!

If you just make sure when starting the hangout to invite all treeleafers that will not disturb anyone, it just makes it visible in their stream. If we keep the treeleaf circle just for sitting, be it zazenkai or zazen in groups (or alone for that matter), then the stream just shows who is/was sitting.

Sounds like a plan. Standby for massive hangout invites, Treeleaf.

I do get constant invites if I'm logged in on my mobile device. But it is not an issue for me.

I don't mind the invitations at all. I often try to join when I can and see them if anything as an incentive to sit more. I really enjoy sitting with Sangha mates.

Add me to the list. I'm a shift worker (3 rd shift). Being able to sit with others who also do shift work would be nice.

I agree. Though lately I've been having connectivity issues so I've been sitting without the google machine. I think it has something to do with my son reactivating his PS3 to the same router. E v e r eee theeeng isss go ing s l o o o owwww.

In the mean time i find it helpful when people post sit times on g+ ahead of time. Just a thought.

The more people that sit with G+ then the more likely there will be one or many sitting with you. Usually I'm sitting daily somewhere between 7-8am and 7-8pm US Eastern Time.

Hi all,

One tip: If you use G+ for a sit and no one else shows up, it won't show up in anyone's feed unless you comment on your own post. Otherwise it's like it never happened! I usually switch over to the main feed and post a comment like "Gassho" before I shut the Hangout window. That way, people know when you sat last and when you may be likely to sit again.

Gassho,
Dosho
