Dear All,
Zazen is never a matter of "long" or "short," and we always sit beyond measure in which each moment of sitting is all time! Even so, it is sometimes good to sit a bit long.
Our monthly Zazenkai has always been 4 hours long but, because some of our members sit with various health conditions that make longer sitting difficult, and because there were a few places to shorten things a little, our monthly Zazenkai at Treeleaf will be 3 hours long starting in August.
Still, it will have about the same wonderful sitting and excitement! 
The new schedule will be as follows:
.
It will start at the same time, but finish an hour earlier. Right now, the times are as follows. For local times, please check the Practice Calendar here: TREELEAF NOW >> (8am to 11am Japan time Saturday morning, New York 7pm to 10pm, Los Angeles 4pm to 7pm, Friday night, London midnight to 3am and Paris 1am to 4am on early Saturday morning) and also sittable any time thereafter with the "real time" recording.
I hope that you can join us next time and every time.
Gassho, Jundo
