East Sooke Trail Silent Hike<\/div>\n

On June 20 there will a silent hike from one end of the East Sooke Trail to the other. <\/span>This is one of the most beautiful trails in the world. Not always easy, sometimes a bit challenging, but quite astonishingly lovely.\u00a0<\/span>Meet at Kokizanji (the Zendo at Nagle Road) at 7:30am sharp. Depending on the pace, it’s a six to eight hour endeavour (including rests and lunch), so be prepared for a real wilderness hike: Proper footwear, lots of water, your lunch, layers of clothing, hat, sunscreen… all of that serious hiking stuff. And, of course, hikers will be silent the whole way. Please let Eshu Osho<\/a> know if you plan to participate.<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Residential Training\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

A CRAZY deal is happening. Residential training is usually $599\/mo, but for the month of June, residential training costs are reduced to $299 for the month. Check out\u00a0<\/span><\/span>this<\/a>\u00a0for all the details on residential training for a day, for a week, for a month, for members, for associates, and for folks who are neither of those.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

June 20 Work Day
\n9 to Noon<\/div>\n

It would be really great for a lot of people to show up to this one. The plan is to get a start on kinhin trail-making. Kokizanji is on a beautiful chunk of land, but at present kinhin is up and down the driveway.<\/span>\u00a0That’s fine, but through the meadow and around the pond sounds nice, doesn’t it? Well, that will only happen with willing hands to help. Let’s get a good turn-out for this jolly bit o’ fun!<\/span><\/span>
\nNecessary: Work clothes, proper footwear, and work gloves. Sunscreen, hat, water bottl<\/span><\/span>e.\u00a0<\/span>Trail-making tools would help if you have them to bring.
\nNot necessary: Any particular skill!<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Quarter 3 Fundraising Drive<\/div>\n
Zenwest is not a business. It is a volunteer-run organization with one modestly-paid employee (Eshu Osho). It requires money just to keep the sits, programs, and temple going. Membership fees alone don’t do the trick. The fundraising drives are essential. Collective action works, and even just a small contribution helps. The Q3 fundraising drive is from June 1\u201417. Please consider offering what you can. Visit the donations page <\/a>for information on how to contribute and other details about the fundraising drive.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
