We will hear the same recording we heard on February 1.
On November 16, 2024, we began a study program on the topic of meditation. For more detail, click/tap here.
The Online Tape Group meets on the first four Saturdays of every month. We meet at different times on alternate Saturdays to accommodate the various time zones worldwide. Participants can join the meetings using a computer, a telephone, or a mobile device.
On the first and third Saturdays of each month, the group meets at 8:00 a.m. U.S. Pacific Time. This provides access at convenient times from North America eastward across South America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
On the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, the group meets at 6:00 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time. This provides access to the tape group at convenient times from North America westward across the Pacific to Australia, New Zealand, and Asia.
We will play the same tape for two consecutive weeks so both time zone groups can hear it. In other words, the tape we play on the first Saturday at 8:00 a.m. will be played again on the second Saturday at 6:00 p.m. The tape we play on the third Saturday at 8:00 a.m. will be repeated on the fourth Saturday at 6:00 p.m.
When a month has five Saturdays, we do not proceed with our regular study program on the fifth Saturday. Still, we may schedule special sessions and hear recordings about the current study program, a holiday, or another timely topic. If we hold sessions on the fifth Saturday, we have them at both 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. so that participants in all time zones can hear the recording. We post the schedule for these special sessions well in advance.
