Online-Only Sitting Continues Throughout February – Join AZG in the Zoom Zendo!

Posted on by admin

The AZG committee met on Sunday 30/1, and we agreed that all sitting will remain online for the month of February, a precaution we’re taking due to the ongoing COVID situation in South Australia.

The good news is that sitting online has been big a success in January. We’ve welcomed new people to sit with the group and we’ve found ways for members to have dokusan, one-on-one meetings with AZG teachers, via Zoom and by phone.

Here’s a reminder of the AZG online sitting arrangement for February:

Thursday night sitting will begin at 7PM Adelaide time (NOT the usual 730PM for in-person sitting)

Sunday morning sitting will begin at 9am Adelaide time

All our sittings will take place on Zoom.

If you are already on the AZG mailing list, an email with the link and more details will go out to you in the coming days. Also, please check the Calendar for any other updates.

If you’re not on the list and would like to join us online, or if you have any questions about the plans for the future, please contact us and we’ll keep you updated.

Thanks so much to everyone who’s sat with us in 2022. We’re taking the situation a month at a time at this point. We’ll revisit the situation at the end of February and update you once again.

Coming up: the AZG Spring Intensive, November 5-7

Posted on by admin

The AZG Spring Intensive is coming up on the weekend of November 6 and 7. If you’ve been sitting for short periods, coming along to an intensive for a weekend or a day or even a half-day is a good way of dipping your toe into sitting for longer periods. If you’re curious about attending one of the AZG’s 5- or 7-day sesshins, intensives are a fine way to test the water.

But – the Spring Intensive filled very quickly! Only a few days after the mailout, all places were taken.

We’re already planning intensives and events for 2022. If you’d like to be on the mailing list and be among the first notified for upcoming intensives, retreats and other AZG events, please contact us at azg@azg.org.au and we’ll be in touch.
