April Sesshin, at Crosby Hall, near Liverpool
Sunday 29th March to Saturday 4th April.
In April, we will be returning to Crosby Hall for our Spring Sesshin. This will be a traditional zen training sesshin with extended periods of sitting and walking meditation, private interviews with teachers and dharma talks.
All meals will be vegetarian. If you have specific dietary needs please mention this when booking. The venue is the CHET centre in the grounds of Crosby Hall, L23 4UA. The owner has given permission to walk in the grounds and there are walks in the surrounding coutryside which is also close to the sea. You can see more information about Crosby Hall and some pictures on the website.
Suggested donation: £350 .We have kept the suggested donation the same for the last five years or more but as you will know overheads in all areas have rocketed, especially the cost of Crosby Hall. We can barely cover our costs at this level and can only do so because the teachers give their services free and donate too! If you can afford more a big thank you.
Priority will be given to folks who have already expressed an interest and to those booking for the whole week.
