Weekly Conversations

When a specific course is not happening, I open up our Zoom venue each Sunday at 4:00 PM, Sydney-Melbourne time, for conversation. These weekly Kalyanamitta meetings are open to those who have done my courses or have made an arrangement with me personally.

If there is a topic designated for the Sunday meeting, it will be listed below in the events.

Courses

Any courses will be on Zoom; and all are held on Sundays at 4:00 PM, Sydney-Melbourne time. In between courses we enjoy our regular conversations.

Individual Sessions with Christopher

If you have any questions about the approach to the Dharma, or feel in need of support, I’m available for one-on-one sessions.

    2023 FIRST SEMESTER PROGRAM
    In the first half of 2023, I plan to teach A 'Dependent Arising Course,' for which we'll use the 'Wheel of Becoming' (Bhavacakka) and the Upanisa Sutta.  We'll study the unhealthy patterns of the 12-links, and also the Buddha's suggestions of a different, healthy dependent arising arising cycle.
    I want to also teach five-week course on 'Love in Buddhist Practice,' which I'll call Love and Awakening.
    For those who missed out on the 'Headless' course, and others who might want to repeat it, we'll have another, after these two courses.
    So, dates are. tentatively....
    1) Dependent Arising - unhealthy mind, and healthy mind versions. Starts, 5th February 2023, a five-week course.
    2) Love and Awakening. Starts 16th April, a four-week course.
    3) Headlessness. (Subtitled: Saving Bhavari and Yajnadatta). Starts  18th June 2023, a six-week course.
    I imagine these three courses as a integrated offering, but any of them can be taken singly.
    PUBLIC HOLIDAYS & MOTHERS DAY
    In 2023, there'll be no Kalyanamitta Group on:
    Easter Sunday - Sunday 9th April 2023
    Mothers' Day:  Sunday 14th May 2023
    Labour Day Weekend:  Sunday1st October 2023
    King's Birthday: At this stage it's not clear when the King's birthday holiday weekend will be. A NSW planning calendar suggests Monday 10 June, so probably no Kalyanamitta Group on 11 June 2023.
