Practice on Christmas Eve, Wednesday the 24th has been canceled.

Just wanting to let everyone know.  Since Wednesday practice falls on the 24th.  We are thinking most folks are going to want to spend that time with their respective families.  So Practice for that night has been canceled.

But….we are tentatively having an extended practice on New Years Eve!  Sitting, Chanting, followed by tea and who knows what?! For more info send Colin an email at nlzc@gwi.net

Remember to Check for a TOPSHAM parking ban

Greetings!

As I write this the snow is coming down hard and it is predicted to snow quite a bit. Remember that we here at NLZC want you to be safe and caution you against driving in adverse conditions. If the town of Topsham has a parking ban on you may consider that Practice for the night has been cancelled. Regardless, only drive in conditions that you feel comfortable in and always err on the side of safety. Be safe.

Peace,

One Moment Meditation

Hi Everyone!

I just got back yesterday from a Retreat at Open Meadow Zen Center.  As always it was a great day and I feel that my practice is stronger for it.  I also picked up one of the new OMZC t-shirts!  I am lobbying for Northern Light to do something similar.  I think that would be awesome.

So I stumbled onto this youtube video about a one minute meditation.  It is pretty good and enlightening, ha!  Pun very much intended. Anyway here is the link; One Moment Meditation

If that really turned you on, the guy who created the short video, Martin Boroson, has a website.   http://onemomentmeditation.com  You might find that interesting too.   Enjoy!

Peace
