Winter Practice Period
26 July to 12 September
The True Sangha Body
Winter can feel cold and dark, a good time to gather and warm with practice together. This is the fourth year we have taken up a winterpractice period. These seven weeks are a chance to come together, to explore new themes and forms, and to deepen in realisation. We invite you to join in.
In addition to our regular practice schedule, this practice period will include:
- Saturday Morning Star Zazenkai
- includes dokusan and teisho
- 25 July, 29 August, 12 September
- 7am to 1pm – with shared breakfast at 9am
- If you plan to attend breakfast, please register
- Sunday evening Online Koan Circles
- Thursday early-morning Online Dharma Sharing
- Merri Creek Cleanup
- Hungry Ghosts Ceremony
- Exploration of various related texts, including ‘Taking Part in the Gathering’ by Shitou
Details of Winter Practice Period events will be emailed MZG members and to folk on our mailing list. If you need further information, please email mzgpractice@mzg.org.au
There is no fee for this practice period – however, we invite you to offer dana to teachers as an expression of gratitude and support, and to also contribute a small amount to our group’s overheads (suggested amounts – $6 per week full-waged, $3 per week concession).
