York Chan Group Meetings
Monday Evenings
We meet on Mondays at 7.30 pm in York.
Meditation cushions and mats are provided, but if you have your own or use a meditation bench please bring them with you. We can provide a chair if you do not use a cushion or bench.
A typical schedule for a Monday evening meeting is:
- 7.30 pm Arrive, tea.
- 7:45 Liturgy followed by Meditation
- 8:20 Slow Walking Meditation
- 8:30 Sitting Meditation
- 9:00 Liturgy
- 9:05 Talk, reading, discussion.
- 10:00 Close
There is a rota to pay into a kitty for the group to purchase cushions or pay for invited retreat leaders. On average each person only pays £10 once every two or three months.
The group is friendly and informal outside of the silent practice periods.
Thursday Mornings
Thursday morning sessions are from 7:00 - 7:50 am, beginning with exercises, 40 mins. sitting, morning liturgy, and leaving promptly before 8:00 am.
