We are invited to arrive 10-15 minutes early so that we can approach the hall with mindfulness and without hurry. This way, we all participate in the creation of our Sacred  Practice Space. We will joyfully support the facilitator in setting up the hall or bringing down the cushions.   By the scheduled time we will all have taken our seats so that everyone is ready and comfortable when the bell is invited. If we are late for sitting meditation, we will try to join the group without disruption or will sit just outside the group until the next transition (bell).
