Hello,
We have our spring residential retreat starting 28th and finishing on 1st June. There won’t be any of the usual weekly temple events during these dates. The normal schedule will resume on Tuesday 3rd.
On Saturday 5th July, we’ll hold a memorial service for Rev. Myfanwy at Cross Farm. She died five years ago on 2nd July. It’ll be a social day with a sitting period followed by the memorial. The ceremony will be held at 11.00am, other than the day will be free flowing. Lunch will be a pot-luck, so please bring some food to share. After lunch we can go for a local walk, something further afield, or stay at the temple. Feel free to arrive anytime from 8.45am and stay as long as you wish. It would help if you would let me know if you are intending to come.
I’ve posted a reduced calendar for the rest of July following the memorial day, it is possible that the temple will be moving sometime during the month. The conveyancing on the property in Shillingford St George is progressing and I can’t foresee any reason why the purchase won’t be going ahead. Most of the typical weekly activities are provisionally posted to continue on the July calendar, I’ve left off meditation days, meditation mornings and introduction sessions. Even if we don’t move in July, I would hope that things will be escalating towards moving and that we’ll be packing up our life here. If things start to look different and I change my mind, if I add any calendar events or temporarily close the temple entirely, which will have to happen at some point, I’ll announce it here.
With best wishes
In Gassho
