You will need to check carefully what time this is in your local time zone.  Please also note that Australia is one day ahead of time zones in Canada and the USA. So when Dieter says he is teaching on Saturdays\, this is Friday in Canada. Timeanddate.com is a useful website where you can check what time it is in different countries\, and compare with your own. Please note that while Brisbane does not go onto Daylight Savings time (many of the other Australian States do go onto Daylight Savings in Spring)\, the Daylight Savings adjustments in your local area will change your local start times for the following sessions. So please check carefully. \n\n\n\nYamantaka Long Sadhana practice: once a month –  on the first Saturday of each month at 8:00 am Brisbane\, Australia time. Session time: 2 hours \n\n\n\nYamantaka Long Sadhana: a weekly practice each Friday 5:00 am Brisbane\, Australia time.  Session time: 2 Hours \n\n\n\nYamantaka Short Sadhana A weekly practice of the Short Yamantaka Sadhana every Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. Brisbane\, Australia time. Session time: 1 hour. \n\n\n\nZoom link:  \n\n\n\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/3458696193?pwd=KVZv6x8KCufbgFm0EepS68bxhh9zjk.1 \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 851 8714 6935 \n\n\n\nPasscode: 156736 \n\n\n\nEmail address:dieter.spielkamp@gmail.com URL:https://gadenforthewest.org/event/yamantaka-sadhana-practice/2022-02-05/ CATEGORIES:Practice END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20220205T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20220205T090000 DTSTAMP:20220205T172411Z CREATED:20211108T203717Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220205T172411Z UID:10004566-1644048000-1644051600@gadenforthewest.org SUMMARY:Lama Chopa-Guru puja and Lamrim mediTation practice DESCRIPTION:Facilitators: Matthew Richards Technology: ZoomAudience: All Are Welcome.
