Kannon Do will host a one-day meditation retreat, or Sesshin on Saturday, June 10th.

On Saturday July 1 we will have a Garden Work Day at Kannon Do. We'll meet at 10:30 AM in the courtyard for tea and cookies, then work until about noon. There's pruning, watering and weeding to be done, and it's always fun working together outdoors to take care of this very special place.
