Joining Lizard Chan Group Meditation Online
In recent times we tried to maintain our usual rhythm of meetings via Zoom. This seems to work well and we continue to offer that possibility for those who cannot join us in person.
What happens at the Lizard Chan Group meditation meetings?
The main focus of the group is Chan as practiced by the Western Chan Fellowship, but we are an open group and so membership and discussions may encompass other Buddhist traditions.
We are open to beginners and experienced practitioners alike, and all are welcome.
The evening consists of two periods of sitting meditation (usually 30 minutes), with a 10 - 15 minute walking meditation or gentle stretching exercises between them.
Some readings may be shared, and there is opportunity for reflections or discussion before we close.
There are mats, cushions, benches and chairs available, but if you have your own preferred cushion or bench, do bring it along.
There is no charge to attend Lizard Chan Group
There is no charge for attendance but you may like to place a donation in the Dana bowl which goes towards the costs. Donations, though welcome, are voluntary.
