We are delighted to announce that on January 9th at 10:30 am, 10 year-old Chichiro will find her way to Kannon Do. Roger Ebert's review captures something of the film maker, Hayeo Miyazaki: I was so fortunate to meet Miyazaki at the 2002 Toronto film festival.
On Saturday, February 13th, Kannon Do will host a one-day meditation retreat, or Sesshin. This day of mindfulness offers a rare opportunity to turn our awareness to the simple activities that sustain our lives, that we normally take for granted: breathing, walking, eating, being attentive to the workings of our mind.
The next Kannon Do Sangha meeting will be held on February 20, at 10:30, in the Sangha house. Everyone is welcome.

Kannon Do is in process of planning a dynamic and engaging short video that will become part of the website. The filming will take place on Saturday, February 27th, and will include brief scenes of the people and activities of Kannon Do, as well short interviews.
