Twenty participants took time off their daily business and the Olympics to become Zen practitioners. They had 12 sessions of 40 minutes of Zen sitting each day interspersed with Zen completion exercises, Zen walking, Zen eating. They spent the 7 days immersed in Zen. The most difficult was the practise of Noble Silence which meant not using your vocal chords as well as not communicating with your eyes, body and writing. Behind Pamela is a quote from the Diamond Sutra.
Total concentration means total freedom of mind.
You fail to see the real me. My True Nature. The group bonded well and are very enthusiastic to continue their Zen practice. All are welcome to come and unwind after a hard week's work.
