At long last, we have found a location for our sangha to hold our first overnight retreat. The retreat will be held at Lourdes College in Regina Hall. There are two possible dates that would work, December 5-6-7 and Dec 12-13-14. Please leave a comment as to which of these dates are possible for you to attend. I expect that check in will be between 5-6pm on friday with a light supper and zendo set up from 6-7. The retreat sessions will start at 7pm. The schedule for the rest of the retreat is in development, but you can expect lots of Zendo time with liturgy, talks and deepening of the our practice.
The fees at Lourdes are more than reasonable. They are asking $10 per person per night for lodging - this includes your own private bedroom. The kitchen will cost us $12 per day, and the conference room that we will use as our Zendo will cost $50 per day. We will be responsible to bring and prepare our own food, and Do'on will be coordinating these efforts. Dana for the TZC is on a sliding scale, with a suggested donation of $50 per day. Scholarships are available for those who may need them. The days are calculated thusly: 1/2 day on Friday and 1/2 day on Sunday plus 1 full day on Saturday.
Please let us know which of these dates may work for you and we will get this set up soon.

Dec 5-7 works best for me.
I believe that the 5th - 7th would work out better for me as well. I am to understand that the fee is $100.00?

There are seperate fees for Lourds and for TZC. Lourds college is $10/night and a share of the kitchen/conference room costs. The Dana to the TZC is seperate, and the recommended donation is $100, with the understanding that there are partial scholarships available for those who may need it.
Please indicate if you can attend both of these possible dates, even if you have a preference for one over the other...

Thank you for letting me know. I can attend either weekend.
I am in Chicago the 7th for JLPT kyuu 4 (Japanese Language test) so the following w/e is best for me.
The second weekend works best for me, 12-14th.- Andy
Dec. 5-7 works for me; not sure I can make the other weekend. Also, probably have to work until 6:30 on Friday--is that going to be a problem?
No problem coming in later on friday night if you have to...
Either one works, ultimately, but I'd prefer the later weekend. But both are doable.
This looks great.
Either weekend works for me.
Simon.
As of the moment, everything should be ok!
I cannot attend either weekend dur to work and Holiday engagements with the kids. Hopefully we'll be able to do this in the spring as well :)
