ROHATSU ALL DAY SITTING

Rohatsu All Day Sitting at The New Dawn Foundation

Thursday December 8, 2011

Dear Friends,

On Thursday December 8, 2011 we celebrate Buddha’s enlightement day with an all-day meditation retreat at The New Dawn Foundation (formerly The Oaks) in New Rochelle, New York.  It is a beautiful retreat property on Long Island Sound.  We sit in the teahouse on the water's edge with expansive ocean views, beach, birds, tide pools and a beautiful park.  For more information regarding The New Dawn Foundation, go to  www.theoaksndf.org

The day’s retreat will start at 6:00am and end at 4:00pm.  Please bring a bottle of your liquid of choice, something for a light breakfast and a bag lunch.  Meditation will be interspersed with walking meditation, private interviews, liturgy, an outside morning work period, a short talk, lunch and a mid-day break.   Please feel free to join us for all or part of the day.   Please dress for the weather as the teahouse is not heated.

The requested donation for the day is $40.  Anything at all is acceptable.  If you have questions or concerns, please contact me by email. 

Whatever your spiritual practice is – now is a good time to renew it and practice it regularly.

Please RSVP if you plan to attend:  ggauntt@gmail.com

Blessings for you and yours for all you do and for all you serve,
