Just bumping this as a reminder that I won't be able to lead practice tonight at 9:30EST. Sorry for any inconvenience...

Hello Friends,

Unfortunately, my weekday schedule has suddenly shifted and my ability to sit with y'all at 9:30pm will be sporadic, at best. As such, for at least the next few months, I will not be able to host the Wednesday night zazen period at 9:30pm EST/EDT. If someone else is willing and able to take the Wednesday night slot, I would be eternally grateful.

That said, my schedule makes it easier to continue sitting with the 7:05am group (hosted by Shokai), but I will miss all of our "weeknight regulars". I will certainly join you when I can.

Deepest bows,
Seikan

Oh man, I’m sorry to hear that. I’d do it if I was able, but I have to pick up my daughter from practice at 8:30 on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Hopefully another one of the regulars can jump in.

I expect to be there as usual, and can do it unless/until someone else wants to.

We'll miss you (again). Looking forward to your return. Don't work too hard!

Hi friends,

It is with a heavy heart that I come here to post this. After sitting with this group for 11 years now, I am going to step away as host after this week.

I cannot express just how much it has meant to have a home and lovely group of friends to sit with on weeknights.

I hope the group can continue, but I also hope nobody feels compelled to take it over. I'm happy to schedule a meeting if any of the regulars (or Unsui) would like to get together to talk about hosts, alternative scheduling, etc.

Deep bows,
Sekishi

[Tairin]

Thank you for your service Sekishi. Although I’ve only been sitting with the group for the past 6 months I’ve come to really appreciate the time together. Always nice to see your smiling face and hear your deep chanting voice.

I am keen to continue with the 9:30 sitting time if others want to continue. I am not sure if I can commit to hosting. Let’s see if others want to.

I will very much miss your calm, cheerful presence. More than once I have come to sit, stressed over something or other, and your friendly greeting always makes me smile and drop my foolish preoccupations at once. I like the 9:30 sitting time as well, and can cover as needed for now if that's useful. With so many regulars, perhaps something can be worked out.

Gassho,
Viveka

I would very much like to continue this time as well even though I don’t get to participate as much as I’d like to.
