An Intentional Stop
From Friday 7 to Friday 21 November the people at Chisholme are undertaking together an intentional stop.
From zikr on Thursday 6th, the eve of Friday, the stop, in the spirit of being together (juma) is also a time for rest in the sense of Shabbat or of the sabbath.
How the two weeks will unfold is to be found out.
However the Fusus study group on Tuesday mornings will take a break until Nov 25th.
And there will be no new volunteers accepted during this time.
There will be zikr on Thursday evenings at 9pm, in the Meditation Room as numbers on the ground will be very small.
Emails and phone messages will be checked once a day.
