We will be closed until it’s safe to reopen.
We’d hoped that the rate of new coronavirus cases would be declining rapidly enough to reopen in June, but the danger is still there. We are considering what will make us feel safe in the zendo and what measures we need to take when we do return to sitting together. We’ll let you know as conditions develop. Meanwhile, if you have any helpful input, please let us know.
We also want to assure our Zoom members that they will continue to be integrated into our practice after we reopen.
Meanwhile, we are offering more virtual practice opportunities. We hope you can join us for one of them this month. Or you can post your thoughts about practice in the era of covid by clicking on Pandemic Practice above.
Please take care out there.
With deep bow,
Zuiko
