Thanks, I was wondering why nothing showed up in my feed.

Dear All,

I have a flexible schedule for the next few weeks and can make early mornings Eastern Time to sit. This is where I am on G+.

Gassho,

Hi all,

I'm trying to update the membership on the Treeleaf Sangha G+ page. There are a number of outstanding requests, but I am not able to verify if those requests are coming from members. Please note that unless you use your member name here at Treeleaf or have the same avatar over at G+, we have no way of knowing if you are a registered member. So, if you have made a request but have not yet been added, please let me know.

Thank you!

Gassho,
Dosho

I've been experimenting with using Google plus without much luck. When I click on "start a hangout" nothing happens (and I am signed in). I've read the link that Kojip provided and I've got a Treeleaf circle with members in it. Are there some other links or postings that will help? Thanks everyone.

Hi Jack. I'm not sure what link you are talking about, but it sounds like you should be able to start a hangout. Maybe someone with more tech knowledge has a suggestion?

Looking over the responses.. It will be great to have daily scheduled sittings lead by the ordained sangha. In the mean time I'll just keep a non-new-year's resolution to sit 6:30 -7:10 am EST everyday come rain or shine, alone or with others , on G+.

This sound like a more basic technical issue, not releated to the treeleaf circle. Have a look at

Why don't we start by showing our GMT (Greenwich Median Time) In the Eastern US I am at GMT -5 as is Kojip. Lay of the group by time zones.
This way we can see when to make a sitting that might overlap several members. Porbably not all of us can sit at once but the HANGOUT can be re-used later by others. We could pick a weekend hour where all can come even for 5 minutes.....
I have followed Jundo by just replaying his sitting.
I need to get more savy about it as we all should...but as it has already been ready said, we got time for it this year to incorporate sittings accross the clock and the around the world.
Hey, I am light years ahead of where I was a few months back.

Let's do this.

I don't see your hangout notifications, I'm obviously not doing this right. I think I'll need to add you to a Treeleaf circle I've created?

What's your G+ URL?

Gassho,

Hello guys,
we're currently in the preparation of creating a Treeleaf "Community" at Google+, which will simplify the process of getting connected to each other, probably all is ready in about a week. We will also have a short guide explaining this. One important change is that the "Community" should _not_ be used for announcing times anymore (as its being done currently be some people, which I fully understand); the point is that the "Community" should be our Zendo, so there is "zazen-hangouts only". To announce your sitting time and share it with others we will recommend either the treeleaf calendar or the google+ calendar, because this way we have it at _one_ place (currently its either here in the forum, at g+ stream, in g calendar or here in the calendar). We just need a few more days to figure whats going to work best ... so please just be patient a few more days

Hi there - I keep coming back to this thread - have set up Google+ but haven't got any further.

Looking forward to the guide and sitting with you all.

We are close in times Kojip, but I gotta sit at 5:30AM so as to be at work on time.
I opened a Hangout, but I wait until a general Treeleaf Hangout opens and we can sit with that.

I'm glad I read this thread and your post Myoku. I signed up on G+ and eventually found the Treeleaf page but didn't know what to do after that. Looking forward to sitting in with everyone when I have the chance!

Hi Santosh. Sorry to be slow on the uptake. I'll check the circle backs, and circle you back. that's probably it.

The new Zendo Treeleaf circle sounds great. Zendo etiquette?
