Teaching Engagements

I am frequently on the move these days, so below are a list of my current teaching engagements through 2024.  For those of you who can’t meet myself or other samanas in person, Dhamma talks, given by myself and other Ajahns, will be live-streamed from Cittaviveka and posted on the Cittaviveka website. https://www.cittaviveka.org/teachings 

I can’t predict when I’ll be giving a talk at Cittaviveka, because the abbot makes the choice as to who to invite to give a talk.  However, I will be teaching  the monastic group retreat at the end of March (25-30). Daily talks will be live-streamed at 08:30 (click on the website address above) and also uploaded onto the Cittaviveka YouTube channel.

However, if you subscribe to Dhamma Tracks (℅ the Home page ) you’ll receive notification of my own upcoming in person and online teachings. Some occasions are set up with only a few days’ advance notice.

Audio versions of recorded talks and retreats will be posted  on Dharma seed: click Dharma Seed

Dhamma Stream recordings are posted on the Buddha-Dhamma Foundation’s YouTube channel.

Online retreat: Clearing the Floods

This on-line Zoom Retreat will focus on clearing sensory and kammic overload and residues that impact the heart. As these are cleared, we gain access to a purposeful engagement with life.

The daily schedule will include sitting, standing and walking meditation, Dhamma teachings, chanting and question & answer sessions. Qigong and recorded Dhamma teachings are also offered to support your practice.

Although the retreat is hosted in California, the timing is suitable for the UK, with an early morning meditation session, and teachings and group practice through the afternoon and evening.
