- "I can't make it next week"
That's OK, you don't need to tell us, you are welcome whenever you can come, and no hard feelings if you can't.
- "I've done lots of meditation in the past, do I need to come to an introduction?"
YES! - unless you've been practising zazen with an azi-affiliated dojo/group.
We may have specific forms and etiquettes that you are unfamiliar with and harmonising with each other is very important to us. So please do come, just once, for a short introduction to see how we do things.

- "I usually sit with the north(or whichever) group - do I have to come to an introduction if I want to go to the south(or whichever) group too?"
No, we do things the same way in all our groups (or practically the same), indeed in any group affiliated with the AZI - just turn up a bit early the first time so you can see where the zafus are kept etc...
- "I live in ... (Hammersmith, Richmond, Croyden, Mill Hill, Plumsted etc...) do you have a group near me?"
Our London groups are listed here - right now there's just the 3 - centrally located - sorry.
- "Are you still sitting on Monday? (or Thursday, or whenever)"
Yes! - that is so long as you are talking about one of the days on the schedule - seriously, this webpage is kept up to date.. you can see in the very bottom left hand corner by the © copyright when the page was last updated
