19:00-20:30 Zazen (sitting meditation with 2 breaks)
It is helpful to wear loose comfortable clothes, appropriate for the temperature at the time of year.
It is very important to be on time. We begin meditating promptly at 7pm. It is customary for anyone who absolutely has to arrive late to enter very quietly, take a seat in the pews and wait for the first break (19:25) to join the group. It should also be noted that there will be no verbal instruction for anyone arriving late as it would distrurb everyone else's mediation.
Suggested donation is £3.
