Hello!
Can I just check when the tea parties are held please? Shyness has prevented me from joining (& may still!) but I'd quite like to get involved.

Thanks!

Ade,

The tea party is at 3pm my time (New York) and 9pm Sweden time, so I believe that would make it 8pm your time. Please correct me if I'm wrong Fugen!

As for being shy, I can relate. The first two times I was on the call I disconnected without saying anything! But I kept coming back and found a great group of people to talk with about practice and daily life (not two BTW).

Please come and join us!

Gassho,
Dosho

Hi all
Just a heads up that the Teaparty will be starting an hour later for those of us in North America who have yet to Fall back in time

So thats 4 pm Eastern, 5 pm Atlantic and so on. I believe next week is our time change and all will be back to the regular scheduled time.
