- On-going Sutta Study Group is online in 2024 and welcomed new participants. We meet 8 Sundays a year on Zoom from 1:00-4:30 pm (Central). See this description for details and dates. This class is currently full.
- Buddha-Dhamma & Meditation Sangha is a hybrid class based in a La Crosse, WI sangha that has been meeting for years. We meet Wednesday evenings for meditation and Dhamma teaching when Santikaro is able, sometimes in-person (without Zoom) and sometimes on-line (via Zoom). This year will continue a focus on the fundamental practice teachings of early Buddhism. Please read this description pdf if you are interested. You don’t have to live in the area to join online sessions and access recordings. Email Santikaro if you wish to participate. (There is no registration Fee. Dana is welcome.)
Register for a course here (but only after reading the description carefully).
Make sure you specify which course you are registering for.
These courses are not drop in and out as you feel like it courses. Each of these courses requires a commitment to participate regularly for the year, so please don’t sign up until you know what you are doing. To discourage ill-considered registrations, a nominal registration fee is charged (no one will be turned away for lack of funds). This commitment fee does not replace a dana offering for the teaching you receive. Kevala Retreat and Santikaro depend entirely on support from participants for their existence. Please donate as a foundational form of your practice.
