This is a silent day, with meditation on the hour every hour (35 minutes, then 10 minutes of walking meditation, followed by 15 minutes’ break). There is the option to sit out any of the meditation periods and read or contemplate in the common room. At 4.00pm, there is evening service, followed by meditation until 4.45pm. You are welcome to come for as long as suits you – this offers the opportunity to schedule your own retreat for a day. It is helpful if you can arrive or leave during the 15 minute break before each hour. If you’d like to have lunch here (the lunch break is 1.00pm – 2.00pm), please bring a packed lunch. 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm Meditation Evening and New Year Ceremony 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm Meditation Evening and New Year Ceremony The New Year Ceremony is a way of marking the passing of the old year and the beginning of the new year. In the evening, there will be meditation at 7.00pm and 7.40pm. If you wish to come only for the 7.40pm sitting, it is helpful if you could arrive just after 7.30pm, during the walking meditation. We celebrate the New Year Ceremony at 8.30pm – if you would like to come just for the ceremony, it would be good to arrive around 8.15pm, in time for a brief rehearsal beforehand. You are welcome to stay on after the ceremony ends (around 9.00pm) for a social celebration. 7.00pm Meditation 7.30 Walking meditation 7.40 Meditation (ends 8.10) 8.30 New Year Ceremony (ends 9.00) – followed by social celebration
