Hi Ross. I saw you with us today. Welcome.

As most of my sits will probably be with you guys, thought I'd just leave a message here of thanks to all of you for allowing me to sit with you. I'm in China, so it's around 2.30pm for me, which seems a good time for my schedule. Hopefully I can also to get to you know guys a bit better outside of sitting too.

Hello everyone,

please be aware that the beginning time for this sitting is defined in Central European Time (CET) and we'll have daylight saving adjustments in Europe, the coming night.
So the beginning time might shift an hour for our non-European sitters!
Please check with the calendar.

Thanks for sitting together!

Thanks for joining, Sharan and for sitting together, everyone.

Btw., coming Saturday, June 5th (CEST) the Scheduled sitting room, where we normally meet, is occupied by our Treeleaf anniversary Spring Retreat: https://www.treeleaf.org/forums/show...-Page-June-4-6
The 7:30 (CEST) mark, when most of us normally join, is in the middle of the retreat's Samu Unit.
At 8:00 (CEST) there would be the next Zazen/Kinhin etc. Unit, that could be left at the first Kinhin part, if you want to sit together, but are not sitting through the Retreat.
Of course, there is also the always open 'Free sitting room'.

Gassho,

I've joined you all this morning. Hopefully I'll be joining you from now on more often since I've decided to arrange my day a little bit different and I'm up from 7 AM from now on

Gassho,

And always the same earth below our feet.

Gassho all, and thanks for sitting with me when I find myself somewhere on that earth and under that moon where it is possible.

Hey Max,
it never fails to amaze me, hearing about the other side of our planet.
Winter<->Summer - Day<->Night, but always the same moon above.
Thanks for sitting together, everyone.

Hi Max, great to have on the team! Good to have an Aussie on board too

Glad you're feeling at home. If you'd like some daily connection you'll find many of us on the free Insight Timer app (Treeleaf Group).

Let us know if we can help with anything.

See you later on the zafu.

Honorary Kiwi from the south end of the West Island.
Enjoying seeing not only what shows up on my internal screen, but in who shows up on my external screen during zazen.
Beginning to feel part of this family.

Thanks Seishin - it is a wonderful experience to sit with everyone.

Hopefully my name is correct on zoom now- we share the Ipad and my daughter also uses it for school and changes the name.

My video may show strange red glow. This is because I sit downstairs and don't put the lights on. My wife then comes down and usually has an infrared sauna which is the other end of the room (this is a small tent like construction with bright red lights) hence the odd glow.

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.
