Each week Bluegum Sangha members meet on a Tuesday as follows:
-
At 7.00 pm the Sangha officially opens and people chat over a cup of tea before finding a seat
-
At 7.15 pm the meditation begins (45 minute silent seated meditation)
-
At 8.00 pm we have a talk from one of the Bluegum teachers, members, or guest speakers
-
At 9.00 pm we typically finish for the evening (though sometimes it extends till 9.15pm)
If you would like to present a dharma talk at an available time slot please discuss with our program coordinator, Gene Hart-Smith. If you prefer information in a printable document rather than this website please contact us.
