    Hidden Track Teahouse

    Hi everyone,

    A few of us were talking today about how months with five Sundays do not have a tea house, so we decided to go ahead and create one, which we are calling the Hidden Track Teahouse (thats an old physical media music joke, get it? ...).

    This tea house will be co-hosted by Bion and/or me.

    Initially we are going to go with the fifth Sunday of each month at noon Eastern Standard/Daylight time (e.g. New York time) in the "Meeting Room" (see treeleaf.org/now). This should basically make it the same as the Floating Tea House, only it will happen on the oddball months where there is a fifth Sunday (west of UTC anyway). If anyone wants to suggest a different time, let one of us know, and we may adjust the schedule time if something works better for folks.

    Gassho,
    Sekishi

    Just a note - I have added these to the calendar for 2021 as well. If I figured correctly, there will be one in January, May, August, and October this year.

    Nice one guys! See you there

    FYI: Teahouse is 6am currently and 4am when the clocks shift. Don't rearrange for lil' ol' me though! NZ is always gonna be tricky, especially Mon am!

    Hi all,

    I'm not sure what the issue was, but the Hidden Track Teahouse did not appear in the calendar for today (I have added it at this late hour).

    But there WILL be one today, so bring a cushion, something good to drink, and any questions, stories, or pop culture lore that you are yearning to chat about.

    Hidden Track Teahouse

    Dear friends,

    this here is a reminder that on the occasional fifth Sunday, we open the doors of our rare Hidden Track Teahouse, a teahouse like every other, but with a fancy name. So, please come have a cup of tea or coffee, or a milkshake and a good chat with Sangha friends! Please check the NOW Calendar for local times https://www.treeleaf.org/now/

    Sat Today lah

    Not only is it a hidden track, but it’s one hour earlier for most of Europe, because the clocks went back last night. It is one hour earlier, right?

    It is indeed. It will be a confusing couple of days our evening sit gets moved as well, so hopefully people check the calendar if they don’t see the posts in time.

    Hidden Track Teahouse

    Hello, dear sangha

    This month has 5 Sundays, so again, it is time for our super non-secret-secret tea house to open its doors. So, Sunday, April 30th, please come join friends from the sangha for a chat, some tea, some laughter and fellowship. The meeting happens at noon NYC time, 6PM Madrid time, 5 PM London time. Find your local meeting time HERE. We meet up in the TREELEAF MEETING ROOM.

    These tea houses are wonderful opportunities to get to know members of the sangha better, to see into the ABSOLUTELY REAL nature of Treeleaf and to find encouragement and support. So, please, don't hesitate to come!


    Sat Today lah
