The Gay Zen Group, which for16 years conducted meditation and dharma discussion meetings has had to temporarily discontinue these meetings due to the need to find a new meeting site. If anyone has some ideas regarding this matter I would appreciate hearing from you. We would prefer a site some where in the Hollywood-West Hollywood-Silver Lake area. The site needs to be relatively quite for meditation and preferably dog/cat free due to potential allergies of attendees. It should be able to seat 15 to 20 persons. We would like to be able to meet on Friday evenings say 7:30 to 9 P.M. We can not afford to pay a lot of rent. In the mean time we are going to have to be simply a web site.
