OVERVIEW

Thank you for your interest in our 2024 Online Fall Sesshin, “The Sangha Jewel and the Bodhisattva Path.”, to be held from Friday, October 25, 2024, at 8:00 a.m., until Sunday afternoon, October 27, 2024, at 2:00 PM. Please be in the Zoom zendo by 7:45 a.m. On Friday and Saturday, periods of meditation and study will be scheduled throughout the day from approximately 8 AM to 9 PM. After the closing circle at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, the retreat will be followed immediately by a Zaike Tokudo ceremony in which five sangha members will be taking their bodhisattva vows. We look forward to practicing with you.

RETREAT FEE

The retreat fee is based on a sliding scale from $125-$250. Those who are able to pay at the higher end of the scale help make the lower end possible. No one will be turned away due to inability to pay. For information on scholarships, please contact our registrar, Julie Dubuc at sszc.registrar@gmail.com.

PAYMENT OF FEES: Retreat fee payment may be completed by e-transfer to the saltspringzencircle@gmail.com address and via PayPal to the same address. You can also pay via the sangha website's "Donate" button. Once you click the donate button, choose "sesshin" from the drop down box to pay your fees. Please note that retreat fee payments are not tax deductible.

You will be notified by email that your registration is complete when your retreat fee payment is received. Zoom links will be sent shortly before the retreat begins, along with the retreat guidelines.

DANA

In addition to the retreat fee, participants are asked to offer a donation to our lay entrusted teachers, Judy Daylen and Simon Rompre, who, in keeping with Zen tradition, serve at our retreat without remuneration. This donation is part of the traditional practice of a mutual exchange of generosity, since it nourishes all who are involved. In that spirit, donations are offered during the retreat in an amount each participant finds appropriate. E-transfers can be made to Judy at jdaylen@gmail.com and to Simon at simonrompre@gmail.com. The same email addresses can be used to offer dana via PayPal.
