February/March 2008 Weekend Retreat

Dogen Sangha and the Glasgow Zen Group are holding their 5th Winter Retreat on Thursday 28th Feb to Sunday 2nd March 2008 at Rowardennan Youth Hostel. The Hostel is at a particularly beautiful spot next to Loch Lomond. There are good and cheap air connections to Glasgow with Easyjet, and collection from the airport can be arranged.

We will arrive late afternoon/evening on Thursday 28th February, and leave on the afternoon of Sunday 2nd March. It is possible to attend for part of the retreat if you are unable to attend all of it.

The retreat will follow a similar pattern to the Dogen Sangha Retreats; there will be 3 days of zazen, teaching, and samu, with sufficient time off to explore the beautiful surrounding countryside.

Cost will be £170 waged,£120 low waged/unwaged. Concessions available on application. Please contact John Fraser if you wish to attend. You can either email him or call him on 0141-339-3888.

You will also find a detailed explanation of how to practice Zazen and kinhin in our online electronic booklet (Adobe Acrobat pdf format) “Introduction to Buddhism and the practice of Zazen"
