For the past six years, the annual Autumn retreat at Dukes Barn has been led by Tenkei Roshi and the last two retreats he has been assisted by Genshin Sensei. We are happy to announce that from 2008 onwards it will be led by Genshin Sensei on her own. She received shiho from Genpo Roshi in May 2006, and leads Kannon-ji zendo in Bilsborrow, Preston. The retreat will begin Thursday November 24 at 6:00pm with and end Monday November 29 by 12:00 noon. During the retreat there will be time for rest or for walking in the beautiful local surroundings.
