Please forgive me as I am WAY behind on our calendar. As many of you know, Larry and I have just moved from our Wilton Rd. home of over 40 years…but not too far away! Just into Shaker Heights and into a home that allows for one-floor living and is also, incidentally, right next door to our daughter/son-in-law/grandaughters and a stone’s throw away from our son/daughter-in-law/grandsons. The 1813 Wilton Zen House remains our Zen Center just in case anyone had any questions about that. Please note that we no longer have land line; please delete the 216-932-3084 phone number from your contacts or CZG contact info. Remainder of March and all of April calendar follows:

”Samu” or Work Practice
On Sunday, April 12, following our sitting, from 10-11:30 or so, we will have “samu” or work practice as we take our turn cleaning the Zen House. If you remember, we alternate months with the Crooked River Zen Center that shares our space. This is a great opportunity to build Sangha community. If weather permits, we may also do a little spring cleaning.
