Zen Shabbat
Friday, March 29th
6:30pm ET
NYC
Lab/Shul and the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care invite you to the third of four seasonal Zen Shabbat gatherings, in person and online. This ritual is a very special shared experience of sacred space and time, harmonizing the Jewish Sabbath slowdown with traditional Zazen meditation practice. We welcome special guest Billy Jonas to join our team this evening.
Zen Shabbat offers a medicinal invitation to sit, guided with much needed breath, sabbath prayers, song and dharma. We dedicate this month’s ritual to Springtime’s welcome and all the ways with which we can bring more peace and healing to the world.
Following the ritual at 8:30pm, Rabbi Amichai, Shira, and Senseis Koshin and Chodo invite you to stay in the Zendo, for a 45 minute heart circle and check in. This will be another opportunity to connect, to support, to hear and to hold each other during this time of tension and tending. This additional circle will be IN-PERSON only. Please bring a nourishing treat to share, a sweet for the soul will go a long way.
