Online meditation room (google hangout permalink) was created by Bruno Loff
Online Meditation Room: Just join in and meditate with others.
Online Meditation Room
There is also a public calendar, that way we can coordinate when to show up.
Room Schedule in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
For other time zones: Amsterdam , London , Los Angeles (Pacific Time) , Denver (Mountain Time) , Chicago (Central Time) , New York (Eastern Time)
I can add other timezones, just ask for it: list of possible timezones .
If you want to edit the schedule, just send me an email (or leave your email in this thread, if you're OK with that) and I'll make you an editor of the google calendar, as well as let you add other editors yourself. I failed to find a good, free solution that would allow for unrestricted editing.
I think it would be nice to have an online place where you could join anytime and have someone there to meditate with.
With that in mind, I propose we set up a system of "curation" — a "curator" is someone who assumes the responsibility to be present in the meditation room at a given time slot (half an hour minimum). If we get enough people, eventually anyone can meditate in company at the usual times (morning/lunchtime/before bed/etc).
So let me know if you want to curate — it doesn't have to be a regular thing, you can just edit the google calendar yourself to fill in any free slot.
Currently I have committed to doing 7am-8am every weekday, Amsterdam (GMT + 1:00) time, at least until Friday, November 29. By selecting your own time zone among the "room schedule" links, you can see what time that is for you. If someone else from europe does want to join, but the schedule isn't quite right, I could move the beginning of the hour to as early as 6h30 and as late as 8h00 (amsterdam time).
Also — katy steger is curating the "jhana octoberfest", which happens every day 5:30-7:00 and 20:00-21:30 eastern time until the end of october.
I see that you use google hangouts a lot here — if you want to make your own permalink instead here is the method I used . Though it would be really cool if more people used the same room instead of having many disconnected sessions.
