Our schedule will be slightly different for the next three upcoming sesshins, to accommodate a scheduling conflict that has come up. Each sesshin will begin on a Friday, rather than Thursday, and end on a Tuesday evening, rather than Monday.

Our September sesshin will begin this Friday, September 4, and continue through the evening of Tuesday, September 8. As usual, we will not be online the day before sesshin, September 3, and the day after, September 9. We will be online for half of the day with our regular online sesshin schedule:
