Dear Sangha, we'd love your input into the future planning as we look towards being in our new Cedarwood Zendo.

For one thing we plan to hold two weekly in-person meetings (also to be available on Zoom). One on a weekday evening as we always have, plus a second weekly practice on the weekend. When is best for you? Please answer from your own perspective - it's more helpful to know what works for you than if people muse about what works best for most people or "the sangha."

Also some brainstorming questions about the kinds of new programs you're interested in seeing in the future. While we don't have endless energy we have a strong and growing sangha and, soon, a wonderful Zendo building as our home base in the community.

Gasshō,
Nomon Tim
