Following the declarations of President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday 30 March, we are obliged to cancel the Grande Sangha session of 29/30 April and 1/2 May.

However, we will postpone it to 6, 7, 8 and 9 May (arrival on Wednesday 5 May).

Indeed, in addition to the ceremony for Master Deshimaru and the general assembly of our association, this session was also to host the Shinsan shiki ceremony of Alain Tainan Liebmann. We could thus maintain these three important events for our Sangha.

Roland Yuno Rech will lead this session and Simone Jiko Wolf and her team are ready to organise the Shinsan ceremony.

The General Assembly will be held on Saturday afternoon, the 8th.

It goes without saying that if the health conditions are not good on that date, everything will be cancelled and postponed. But at least we will have tried!

After a month of confinement, it will be a real joy to meet again in a warm and spring-like Gendronnière.

Best wishes and good luck with the confinement!

Olivier Reigen Wang-Genh, President of the AZI
