Kotei - the Keeper Of The Names might start to struggle in 2021, especially once the new Dharma names are allocated !!

It seems that you're already the only one, being able to keep up with our thankfully ever-growing circle.
I gave up months ago ;-)
Gassho,

Hi Andrew and welcome to the Euro+Everyone(!) SSR group . It's great to have you along.

All are very welcome, it's wonderful every time someone new joins in

The combo of timetabled drop-in seems to work great!

5 mornings sitting and really enjoying it - so thanks everyone

Is the free sitting room - a drop in for sitting anytime similar the Euro room?

[Kotei]

Hi Andrew,

thank you for sitting together.

Yes, the Free in 'Free Sitting Room' means no scheduled time, anytime, any duration, come and go as you like.
In the 'Scheduled Sitting Room', there is usually a certain begin and end time (which is a bit flexible with the Euros/Kiwis). You can find the schedule here: https://www.treeleaf.org/now/

On a sidenote... here: https://www.treeleaf.org/forums/show...-forum-chat%21 is a posting about signing your postings with 'sat today' to indicate that you sat in the last 24h and to encourage others.

Hi Andrew,

there is quite a lot to read and digest, regarding all the written and unwritten rules and customs, I can imagine.
In addition to the sat today (thank you!), there is a request for a little extra kindness (Lend A Hand) to those around us: https://www.treeleaf.org/forums/show...Lend-A-Hand%29

Hi to all newly sitting with us. Great to be with you .

For some extra daily connection, a number of us are on the free Insight Timer app. Just go to groups and find Treeleaf. It's a great way to say "hi" and 'gassho", plus share something if you wish

Gassho, Chris satlah

[Franz]

Thanks for the hint Chris, just joined on IT.
This morning I sat just before a working meeting, needless to say I was super serene and focused, beautiful 😊

Hi Franz and Andrew

Thanks for joining us in our scheduled not so scheduled SSR session. Sorry for the delayed welcomes in Insight Timer but with aging eyes and small screens I have struggled to see the names but try to keep a record of those who join us daily. At least I now know I was not cracking up as I was sure that I saw Stiana crop up for a few days only to change !

So while we are at it - thank you Shonin (you know which one you are) who sat with us this morning.

Deep bows to you all.

Sat natch
