Zen Meditation Workshops in Carrick-on-Shannon
August 15 and 16, 2009
I'll be holding two one-day workshops on Zen meditation (zazen) and Buddhism
in Carrick-on-Shannon in the north-west of Ireland on Saturday and Sunday, August 15 and 16,
2009. Carrick-on-Shannon is a fairly small town but has a lively community
and a great Arts Centre called "The Dock", which they're letting us use to run the workshops. The Dock is housed in a beautifully renovated 19th Century courthouse building overlooking
the river Shannon. It should be a nice place for some Zen meditation.
The workshops will start at 10:30 am and end around 5:00 pm.
The schedule for the day will be something like this:
10:30 - Start and Introduction
- Zazen (sitting meditation)
- Kinhin (walking meditation)
- Zazen
- Talk
- Lunch
- Zazen
- Kinhin
- Zazen
- Talk
5:00 - End
The workshops are suitable for anyone interested in Buddhism and/or Buddhist
meditation. Beginners are welcome, and I'll give instructions on practicing
zazen at the start and during the day. The zazen periods will be either
20 or 30 minutes. The Kinhin (walking meditation) periods will be 15 or
20 minutes.
Places are limited, so early booking is recommended.
