Zazenkai - August 22nd-23rd, 2026 Group

Dear all, here are the arrangements that I'm aware of so far: Travel

• Barb will be driving from Sydney and bringing Jane and Jacqui with her

• Nadine is catching a train to Kiama where Anik will pick her up at 9am Saturday.

• Emma has offered to give anyone a lift from the Berry area Saturday morning who may need it.

• Neil, Ines & Bob, Kate & Jazz and Emma will be driving. All staying in the nearby area the night before I believe (so not driving from Sydney etc.)

• Oonagh, Joel and Natasha - what are your travel plans please?

Hi all

Susan brought it to my attention that the Berry train won’t quite make it in time for 10am. As such I wondered if anyone may be going by Kiama station at 9am?

Thanks all!

Dear Boddhisatvas, only 3 weeks to go! Woohoo :)

I'm very much looking forward to sitting with you all at Cloud Mountain.

In the lead up, it would be great to do a little organising between us so that we have all our ducks in a row regarding food, accommodation, and planned arrival/departure times.

For food, what's worked well in the past is that we all bring food to share for lunch on the Saturday. One person cooks dinner for everyone on Saturday night (usually something basic like a soup), and one person does breakfast on Sunday (usually porridge with yoghurt and fruit or similar).

Accommodation is BYO camping. But that being said we do have some spare mattresses and tents, so please yell out if you need anything.

Finally it would be great to have an idea of when everyone is planning on coming and staying until. I know…

Hi friends

I am planning to get a train from Wollongong via Kiama to Berry on morning of 22nd and need to catch one back that evening.

I wondered if anyone could either pick me up or run me to the train station?

Love

Nadine
