East West Dharma Hour

This group focuses on various aspects of Eastern philosophies - both fundamentals and practical aspects. Our invited (by recording) speakers are mainly Buddhism-focused, but other philosophies like Hinduism and Taoism are also represented.

We meet on the second and fourth Fridays of the month at 9:30 AM at the Captiva Recreation Center.

We operate on a model which might be described as an audio book club. That is, the meeting itself is entirely discussion, with the talks (generally one or two of 46-60 minutes) distributed a week before for review, along with talk summary notes. In our experience, while desirable, it is not required that you listen to the talks beforehand: the meeting notes and the discussion itself provide an adequate basis for useful participation.

On this model, joining our email distribution list provides all the information required for participation. You may do so by sending a message to mmocella@gmail.com
