Sitting Into The New Year 2018

December 28, 2017

The Zen Center with be holding our annual “Sitting into the New Year” event this Saturday, December 31st 2017 from 8:00pm until just after midnight. Our New Year’s Eve practice is “open sitting” so you should feel free to join in as your schedule allows. Come for one sit or two or three – come late, leave early, however your schedule permits.  We hope you will join us!

Sitting periods will be 25-30 minutes with walking periods in between. Both cushions and chairs are available.

You are welcome to bring vegetarian snacks and non-alcoholic drinks to share (if you want – it is not required), and you are welcome to have tea or snacks in between sitting periods. We only ask that everyone keep silence throughout the evening. Five minutes before midnight we will begin chanting the Great Dharani and will continue to do so until five or ten minutes after midnight.

Let us know if you have any questions.

The Orlando Zen Center is located at 515 S Crystal Lake Dr in Orlando, FL. Parking is available on the mulch pad in front of the center, or on one of the nearby side streets.
