On a nice Whitsuntide day...

Open Day at Noorder Poort

May 27, 10.30-17.00

The annual open day provides a fine opportunity to bring friends and acquaintances who are interested in Zen into the atmosphere in which Zen is practiced at the Noorder Poort. The goal of the day is not to convince others of meditation, which would not fit the spirit of Zen, but it might be a nice opportunity for someone you know to get in contact with meditation – who knows? During the day short talks will be given, and of course we will offer meditation instructions in the zendo, the heart of our center. The talks and the instruction will be part of the "guided tour" through the Noorder Poort, an activity conducted by Jiun Hogen, Roshi. The tour will be scheduled two times: 11.00 a.m. and 15.00 p.m.

Information boards also give a lot of information about topics such as: how the center is organized, or: can I volunteer here? Of course the Foundation of Friends of the Noorder Poort will also be present. Registration in advance is not necessary. Coffee, tea, rolls and other delicacies from the Noorder Poort kitchen can be bought at a low price.
