As a result of the passage of hurricane Ian through Central Florida during Wednesday, September 28, there will be no meeting, either at the meditation hall or via Zoom. My wish is for everyone who is affected by the hurricane to be as safe and secure as possible. I expect we can meet as usual next Wednesday, October 5, in the meditation hall and via Zoom. As of today there are only 3 rooms available for the Deerhaven retreat, which is from October 29-November 5; you can register through the website. I wish you well. Peter
